Atrium Medical Corp. C-Qur Mesh Products Liability Litigation
The scientific causation in MDL-2753 hinges on the body's immune response to the C-Qur mesh's material, especially its fish-oil coating. While designed to be biocompatible, the coating can provoke inflammatory reactions, leading to tissue irritation, infections, adhesions, and nerve entrapment. Manufacturing defects and issues with coating adhesion have further contributed to adverse outcomes, supported by FDA recalls and adverse event reports.
