How to Take Action Against the Maker of a Defective Medical Device
Defective Medical Devices That Have Been Known to Injure Patients
Even if a product was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), you can still hold the manufacturer liable for causing your suffering. We can help fight for you to collect damages for your medical expenses, lost wages, and future medical care—all while you take time to heal.
We can help you recover payments for injuries due to a wide range of defective medical devices, including:
- IVC Blood Clot Filter Major recall on IVC filters. What’s designed to prevent blood clots can lead to serious injuries or even death. Don’t wait, call us now and we can help.
- Hip implants. Many metal-on-metal hip devices have been recalled in recent years due to their high failure rates. The Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II modular-neck hip stem implants have been linked to metallosis and early failure since 2009, while DePuy hip devices (such as the ASR XL Acetabular System) were recalled due to a high failure rate and an increased need for early revision surgery.
- Knee implants. In 2015, the FDA recalled the popular Zimmer Persona knee implant after receiving numerous reports about the device’s tendency to loosen and create large gaps between the Zimmer device and the patient’s bone matter.
- Transvaginal mesh. Hundreds of women who have received vaginal mesh devices for treatment of incontinence and weakened pelvic muscles have filed suits against the device’s manufacturers. Past lawsuits indicate that many devices, including the Gynecare Prolift, Gynemesh, and tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O), caused a variety of complications, including organ damage, pelvic pain, device erosion, and surgical removal.
- Surgical devices. Patients benefit from a number of medical devices during a surgical procedure, and a poorly-designed product can place them at particular risk when they are most vulnerable. For example, many patients are kept warm during surgery with forced-air warming devices such as the 3M Bair Hugger. Unfortunately, some patients have reported serious deep tissue infections after their exposure to contaminated air circulated by the Bair Hugger device during surgery. As the Bair Hugger device is used in millions of surgeries every year, there may be no end to the number of patients at risk.
- CPAP and BiPAP Devices. Patients have slept better for decades thanks to devices like these. However, close to four million devices were recalled due to degrading foam particles being inhaled into the user’s lungs causing several health risks including carcinogenic risks.
