Although this mesh is removed by the normal human's immunological response over 18-months, the risk of reoccurrence of hernia is not different when compared with polypropylene,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national product liability attorney. Dr. Greg Vigna, hernia mesh attorney, [...]
“P4HB appears to be the safer alternative design that significantly reduces the risk of mesh infections in high-risk situations where the appendix is trapped within the inguinal canal. In these scenarios, there is little justification for using polypropylene, as serious mesh infections can be avoided,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national product liability attorney. Dr. [...]
“P4HB mesh is a safe and a viable alternative for complex hernias and high-risk patients with a low complication rate in the short-term,” states Dr. Diego Lima, General Surgeon. Dr. Greg Vigna, national hernia mesh attorney says, “The Phasix mesh is made from P4HB, a natural polymer derived from E coli. It is fully degradable [...]
“Our study demonstrates that the use of P4HB mesh is both safe and effective in ventral hernia repairs,” states Dr. Daniel H. Tran, General Surgery, Texas A&M College of Medicine. Dr. Greg Vigna, national mid-urethral sling attorney and hernia mesh attorney, says, “The Phasix mesh is P4HB and is a natural polymer derived from E. [...]
