  • Kugel Mesh Patch Attorney - Fighting for the Rights of Kugel Mesh Patch Victims

    Hernias are a serious problem if they're not corrected promptly and properly, and as a result many new products began to hit the market that were supposed to help make the recovery process from hernia surgery much easier. Most of these products were produced with the intent to aid in the healing process after the surgery, which for many years proved to be difficult and to involve follow-up visits.

    One of the innovations to come to the fore in recent years was a patch that was designed to help with the healing process, but it soon encountered serious problems. Specifically, one product above all others has come under intense scrutiny for many reasons, and that product is known as the Kugel Mesh hernia patch. If you have suffered as a result of using this patch, contact Parilman & Associates immediately to schedule a free initial consultation.

    Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch Information

    The Kugel Mesh hernia patch, manufactured by Davol, Inc., first came to the market after being approved by the FDA in 1996. It was seen as a promising development because of the way it worked inside the patient. During hernia surgery, doctors would implant the device around the surgical area, and it contained springs that would allow the healing patch to unfold around the affected area after implantation. It was supposed to ease the healing process and to alleviate pain.

    Several Problems Arise

    Unfortunately, several problems eventually unfolded in relation to the Kugel Mesh patch. Reports began to surface that showed that patients who had used the patch had developed several side effects, including:
    • Bowel perforations
    • Bowel obstructions
    • Chronic enteric fistulas
    Investigations into these problems showed that the memory recoil ring part of the Kugel Mesh patch showed a tendency to break, leading to the internal injuries these patients suffered.

    The FDA eventually got involved, and several recalls were initiated for different lots of these products offered at different sizes. If this problem has enveloped you or someone you love, you need to take action to find out more about your legal rights and options.
