Atrium Medical, part of the Maquet Getinge Group is the manufacturer of C-QUR surgical mesh. The product was cleared by the FDA through their accelerated 510(k) process in 2006. After the release of the original mesh product, numerous variations were subsequently released by Atrium from 2008 to 2015. All of those brands are still being sold and used today. C-QUR surgical mesh is made of polyethylene and is coated with fish oil. Polyethylene, when used in a medical device, has been known to shrink, cause inflammatory reaction, infections and erosion among other complications.

Since its appearance on the market C-QUR has been the subject of scrutiny as the manufacturer has been accused in numerous court filings of defective design and manufacture; failure to provide sufficient warnings and instructions; and that they knew or should have known about the allergic or inflammatory responses that the mesh would trigger when implanted.

In more recent court filings, Atrium has been accused of participating in a stealth recall of some of its mesh products because of the controversies and lawsuits surrounding complications stemming from the devices. A stealth recall is when a company stops production of a product due to negative reports, whether reported to the FDA or not, but has not taken any official steps to inform doctors or consumers. In a case filed in December 2016, a plaintiff has suggested that this method of stealth recall led to continued use of the C-QUR mesh and the extreme complications she suffered. In her case, two years post-surgery, she experienced sever stomach pain and surgeons found that the hernia had recurred and that the mesh from the initial surgery had crumpled and caused scar tissue that made mesh replacement impossible. The third surgery she underwent was not healing well. In December 2016, lawyers consolidated all suits against Atrium Medical concerning C-QUR mesh as an MDL in the District of New Hampshire because a significant number of cases were pending in the district and Atrium is headquartered in New Hampshire. More than 100 actions are part of the MDL. These suits are ongoing and Plaintiffs continue to join them.

These problems are not the first faced by Atrium with respect to C-QUR products. The FDA warned Atrium in 2012 because of problems in the manufacture and sterilization of the product that posed serious risks to consumers. Atrium issued a recall on C-QUR mesh in 2013, but know of the products actually left the market, instead, Atrium sent letters warning doctors that the mesh coating might delaminate from the mesh. When the coating peels from the mesh there is an increased risk of the mesh, made from polypropylene, coming into direct contact with internal organs, which poses increased health risks to patients.
