Jacksonville Kugel® Hernia Patch Lawyers
The United States has the highest incidence of deaths related to incisional hernias each year, and initially it was thought that the Bard® Composix® Kugel® Mesh Patch was the solution to hernia patients' problems. Unfortunately, this implantable device has been plagued with problems of its own and subjected to several recalls due to its dangerous side effects. Read on for more information on the kugel hernia patch and its dangers:
Manufactured by Bard/Davol, the kugel mesh patch was designed to be inserted over the hernia site in an attempt to reinforce the scar tissue area that has been thinned or stretched after surgery. The devices are equipped with a so-called "memory recoil ring" designed to make the patch open up once inserted into the body. Unfortunately, the defective hernia patch has been found to shift or even break inside the body, leading to bowel perforation, intestinal fistulae, or bowel ruptures that can necessitate further surgical intervention in patients who have already suffered through hernia surgeries.
Though Bard recalled many devices in 2005, recalls continued through 2007, affecting the extra large oval, oval, large oval, and large circle sizes of the device. Though letters have been sent to patients and doctors informing them of the dangers of the patches, some patients did not get the information or could not afford additional surgery, leading to increased risk.
If you have been injured by a defective kugel mesh patch, you still have legal rights. You may decide to pursue legal action against Bard, filing a civil lawsuit in search of damages related to the costs of medical treatment, disability, rehabilitation, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical care.
