Kugel Hernia Patch recall lawsuits being reviewed

March 7th, 2007 by Saiontz, Kirk & Miles | PERMALINK

Saiontz, Kirk & Miles, P.A. is now investigating potential claims for injuries suffered as a result the recalled Davol / Bard Composix Kugel Hernia Mesh Patches.  Lawsuits are being reviewed nationwide.

The Kugel Hernia Mesh Patches are used to repair ventrical hernias, also known as incisional hernias.  The product is designed so that it can be folded during insertion and then spring open once in place to lay flat under the hernia.  As a result of a design defect, the memory recoil ring may break, causing bowel perforation, intestinal problems or death.

The Kugel Hernia Patch recall is classified by the FDA as a Class I recall, since it has a reasonable probability of causing serious adverse health consequences.

    Andrew, I do not believe that the recalled hernia mesh was approved for use to repair inguinal hernias. However, you should check with your physician to determine the type of mesh used and the product number. You can then contact our office at (800) 522-0102 and we will be happy to speak with you and help you determine whether you would qualify for a hernia mesh recall lawsuit.

    I had the Bard Ventrulax size small mesh inserted for my second hernia operation on 2/10/06. Subsequently, I have another hernia just above the mesh and had to have a third surgery in Nov 07. I am having swelling, and pain in my abdomin, and I cannot sit or stand for long periods. My doctor told me to wait and see…he thinks it may be the plastic stitches used but this is ridiculous.

    My hernia(s) were around my bellybutton and that is where the mesh was inserted. Wish I never had the mesh inserted.

    I am not related to the Miles partner.
