Ethicon Physiomesh is made of a number of different parts and ingredients. The mesh itself is made of the polypropylene, a common polymer like plastic. In addition, it is coated in a substance intended to aid the mesh in being accepted by the body.

Ethion Physiomesh was designed to be porous, which causes it to absorb fluid after implantation. However, this too has been identified as a potential source of complications with the surgical mesh.
When the moves and migrates after implantation, patients are at risk of organ laceration, organ perforation and organ puncture. Such serious injuries often require surgery to tend to the wounded organ. In addition, corrective surgery is likely needed to remedy the malfunctioning hernia mesh.
If you received a hernia mesh implant that later caused an internal injury, you may be entitled to financial compensation from the product manufacturer.
