MORE Kugel Mesh Lawsuits....severe injuries reported

Bard Composix Kugel Mesh Patches have been recalled several times over safety issues caused by product defects. The patches, which are used to treat ventral hernias, contain flexible rings that allow large patches to be folded for insertion through small incisions. Once the patch is in position within the abdominal cavity, the ring pops open allowing the patch to be fastened flatly in place. However, the Food and Drug Administration has received numerous reports of defective recoil rings breaking and exposing jagged, sharp edges. These sharp edges can cause serious internal injuries.

If you or a loved one has suffered the serious side effects of a defective Bard Composix Kugel Mesh Patch, please contact the experienced defective medical device attorneys at Buttafuoco & Associates today for a complimentary consultation who can help you recover the compensation you may be due.
