Kugel Composix Hernia Mesh Patch Injury Claim

Kugel Hernia Patch Defect Claim

A hernia is muscle defect experienced by hundreds of thousands of Americans each year.  A hernia is essentially a weakness in the abdomen muscle wall which causes a bulge in the tissue.  This causes extreme discomfort with just about any physical activity.  The Kugel mesh hernia patch was introduced by Davol to assist doctors in performing hernia surgeries, and ultimately to relieve pressure and prevent muscle tissue bulging.  The Bard Composix Kugel Mesh Patch is placed inside the incision and a patented "memory recoil ring" would control the hernia.  It was this patent that has ultimately caused serious injury and led to thousands of Kugel Hernia Patch Defect Claims against Davol.

As early as 2002, consumers who had the Kugel Hernia Patch placed inside their abdomens reported various side effects and complications as a direct result of the patch.  These complications included:

• chronic/acute pain in the abdomen
• tenderness to palpation at the area of the incision
  
• bowel obstructions
• bowel perforations
• chronic enteric fistula - connection defect between portions of the intestines
  
• high fever

If you have experienced any of the dangerous side effects associated with the Kugel Hernia Patch, contact a Kugel Hernia Patch Recall Lawyer at Schultz Legal Group immediately.  Some victims may be left with little to no options to alleviate pain associated with a defective Kugel hernia patch.  It is critical to consult with a defective medical product injury lawyer to discuss your legal remedies against Davol.

The Kugel Hernia Patch was recalled in December 2005 by Davol and the FDA.  It has been discovered that the memory recoil ring has a tendency to break, causing serious complications in the intestines and bowel, not to mention extreme discomfort.  The FDA has urged any users of the Bard Composix Kugel Mesh Patch to have x-ray and MRI to determine whether the Kugel Mesh Patch has failed inside of the abdomen.  Contrast imaging will show the position of the hernia patch and whether the memory recoil ring has malfunctioned. 

In 2006, The FDA conducted a thorough inspection of the Davol plant where the Kugel Hernia Patches are manufactured.  The inspection noted a serious deficiency in the method and manner by which Davol recorded consumer complaints and injury claims.  It is suspected that Davol knew of the defects associated with its medical products but did little to warn consumers or notify the FDA.  Contact a Kugel Hernia Patch Injury Lawyer immediately to discuss your medical product defect claim against Davol.
