AlloDerm patches for hernia repair have been failing at an unacceptably high rate. One study showed the patch failed in 24 percent of patients receiving it to help their tissue repair itself after hernia surgery.
When the patch fails, a patient has to suffer the pain of the failure of the hernia repair plus surgery to extract the AlloDerm mesh, which itself results in a great deal of pain. Then, the patient must undergo yet further surgery to repair the hernia.
AlloDerm received 510 K clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1994. Because of the high failure rate of the patches, many are saying that the FDA should have required a more stringent testing and approval process for AlloDerm, which is considered a device. At that time, products classified as devices were not subject to the same strict standards of testing as drugs were.
Due to the number of failures of the AlloDerm hernia patch, many patients are filing claims to be reimbursed for the pain and suffering they have undergone. The number of lawsuits is growing as more failures occur.
