Atrium C-Qur mesh is used in hernia repair, chest wall reconstruction, and in repairing traumatic and surgical wounds. The big selling point for C-Qur mesh is its omega 3 gel coating, derived from fish oil. The company even claims that the coating is, “all natural.” That sounds like a good thing but it may actually be the underlying problem in cases where patients have suffered serious complications after having the mesh implanted.
