Bard Composix Kugel Mesh Hernia Repair Patch Recall
If you had surgery that included hernia repair, it is likely the Composix® Kugel Mesh Patch was used to repair ventral (incisional) hernias caused by thinning or stretching of scar tissue that forms after surgery. If you are suffering any unexplained or persistent abdominal pain, fever, tenderness at the implant site or any other unusual sympton, it is advised you seek medical attention or contact your hernia surgeon or the hospital where their hernia repair surgery took place.
According to Johnson Law Firm attorney Steven Johnson patients and/or doctors have not been adequately notified of the recall of these defective hernia mesh repair patches. The manufacturer Davol is accused of inadequate testing of this product. It is claimed the “memory recoil ring” can break under the stress of placement of the large sized products in the intra-abdominal space. This can lead to numerous complications including infections, bowel perforations and/or chronic intestinal fistulae (abnormal connections or passageways between the intestines and other organs).
Steven Johnson says “We have clients from across the United States who suffered complications after being implanted with this defective device. The manufacturer has not adequately notified patients or doctors of the recall of these defective hernia mesh repair patches. We are representing clients in lawsuits against the manufacturer of these defective Hernia Mesh Patches. We intend to seek every measure of damages allowed by law for our clients in these cases and we will hold this manufacturer accountable.”
