What is Surgical Mesh?
Surgical mesh is a loosely-woven patch that is used to support organs and tissues. Mesh can be synthetic or biologic, permanent or absorbable, and coated or un-coated with an “adhesion barrier.” They are used in a variety of surgeries. Hernia surgery is most common, followed by transvaginal mesh for women and reconstructive surgery.
Surgical Mesh Complications
- Chronic pain
- Allergic reaction or rejection
- Infection
- Hernia recurrence
- Bowel obstruction
- Organ damage
- Adhesion (scar-tissue)
- Surgery
Abdominal Surgical Mesh Lawsuits
Lawsuits have been filed by people who were injured by the following types of abdominal surgical mesh:
- Composix Kugel Mesh — Recalled three times between 2005 and 2007 because a component could break and cause bowel perforations and/or chronic enteric fistulae. C.R. Bard was hit with 3,000 lawsuits and paid a $184 million settlement in 2011.
- Ethicon Physiomesh — Recalled in Europe and Australia in May 2016, but pulled off the market without a recall in the U.S., after studies linked it to higher rates of hernias returning and needing another surgery.
- Atrium C-QUR Mesh — Recalled in 2013 because the “anti-adhesion” fish oil coating (Omega-3) could peel off and stick to the inside of the package when exposed to high humidity. Lawsuits were filed by people who developed inflammatory allergic reactions when the coating peeled off inside their body.
What is the problem?
The Clark Firm, LLP is nationally recognized as a class action law firm in Texas, but we are not filing a class action lawsuit for surgical mesh. Instead, we are filing individual injury lawsuits for people who were injured by severe complications.

About Class Actions
When a large group of people have relatively similar legal claims, class actions help resolve the litigation all at once. Members join together, collectively seek compensation, and share the payout.
Why Our Law Firm Is Filing Individual Lawsuits as Opposed to a Class Action
Class actions are a great way for consumers to get refunds, but they have major disadvantages for people who were severely injured by defective medical devices. This is why most surgical mesh lawsuits are centralized in one federal court rather than a class action.
There is no excuse for selling a dangerous mesh implant or failing to issue a recall. Our lawyers file individual lawsuits so we can focus on helping people who were injured seek maximum compensation for their injuries, medical expenses, lost income, permanent disabilities, and more.
