Hernia Patch Lawsuit

Patients who have been injured from using the Composix Kugel Mesh Patch have recently filed hernia patch lawsuits against the manufacturer, Davol Inc. and C.R. Bard Inc.

The Hernia Patch Class Action Lawsuit alleges that the two companies were manufacturing and designing problems that existed in the hernia patch and did not inform patients, doctors, or other medical professionals who were administering the Kugel Mesh Patch.

Davol has discovered that a memory recoil ring that surrounds the patch and holds it in place has a tendency to break in patients after being inserted. The breaking of the Kugel Mesh Patch has lead to several severe health problems including:

• Bowel Obstruction
• Bowel Perforation
• Chronic Enteric Fistulas

The FDA has found that the company, Davol, did not report properly to medical and health professionals of these findings or properly report complaints it had received about the breaking of these hernia patches.

After these reports were found by Davol the company did not inform the FDA and continued selling the defective hernia patch. After the December 2005 hernia patch recall, the company’s findings finally became well known. Hernia patch lawsuits have been filed against the makers of the hernia patch which accuse them of fraud, wrongful death, and negligence.
