SAYVILLE HERNIA MESH LAWSUIT LAWYER

Medical professionals typically opt for a hernia mesh implant rather than stitching the torn tissue back together in the hopes of improving recovery and minimizing the chance of recurrence. Hernia mesh devices come in many materials and sizes to treat varying types of hernias. Manufacturers supposedly designed these implants to remain in patients for years. In 2018, the FDA received roughly 500 adverse hernia mesh reports monthly.

HERNIA MESH COMPLICATIONS

A hernia mesh is a flexible implant that supports weakened tissue around a hernia as it heals. A hernia happens when an internal organ pushes through a tear in muscle or tissue. Strenuous actions like bending over or lifting heavy items account for many hernia incidents. The groin and abdomen are frequent hernia locations. To prevent a hernia from recurring, surgeons implant the mesh around the hernia site. In the United States, surgeons use hernia mesh in 9 out of 10 hernia surgeries annually.

WHAT IS A HERNIA MESH?

A hernia mesh is a flexible implant that supports weakened tissue around a hernia as it heals. A hernia happens when an internal organ pushes through a tear in muscle or tissue. Strenuous actions like bending over or lifting heavy items account for many hernia incidents. The groin and abdomen are frequent hernia locations. To prevent a hernia from recurring, surgeons implant the mesh around the hernia site. In the United States, surgeons use hernia mesh in 9 out of 10 hernia surgeries annually.

HERNIA MESH COMPLICATIONS

Medical professionals typically opt for a hernia mesh implant rather than stitching the torn tissue back together in the hopes of improving recovery and minimizing the chance of recurrence. Hernia mesh devices come in many materials and sizes to treat varying types of hernias. Manufacturers supposedly designed these implants to remain in patients for years. However, hernia mesh recipients have reported that certain products failed, leading to severe injuries. In 2018, the FDA received roughly 500 adverse hernia mesh reports monthly. After sorting through the complaints, the FDA reported the most common adverse hernia mesh complications as: 

  • Adhesion
  • Bowel obstruction
  • Bowel perforation
  • Hernia recurrence
  • Mesh migration
  • Mesh rejection
 

HERNIA MESH RECALLS

Hernia mesh manufacturers have recalled over 211,000 hernia mesh implants from 2005 to 2019. The majority of recalls involved hernia mesh manufacturers like Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon, Bard, and Atrium. These recalls ranged from packing issues to more severe complications that jeopardized the health of patients, like bowel perforation and obstruction. 

Mostly, the FDA categorized these hernia mesh recalls as Class II recalls. This means that a person may experience medically reversible, temporary adverse health consequences. However, the agency deemed one Bard recall a Class I, meaning the product could cause serious injury or even death.

INJURIES IN HERNIA MESH LAWSUITS

A defective hernia mesh may arise from the flawed material used to manufacture the product or from how the body reacts to the implanted mesh. The above-referenced hernia mesh complications can result in injuries such as:

  • Revision surgery
  • Chronic pain
  • Internal bleeding
  • Fever
  • Infection
  • Fistula
 

Many patients require prolonged medical intervention after surgery with defective mesh. No one should have to tolerate persistent health complications indefinitely, that is why our capable attorneys are on standby to help you file a hernia mesh lawsuit.

MANUFACTURERS INVOLVED IN HERNIA MESH LAWSUITS

With a market value of $4.5 billion in 2021, the hernia mesh market is highly profitable and has attracted countless manufacturers. Yet, many of these companies have issued recalls for their hernia mesh products, affecting hundreds of thousands of implants. These recalls and health complications have prompted individuals to file claims against companies such as:

  • Atrium (a subsidiary of Getinge Group)
  • Bard (a subsidiary of Davol)
  • Covidien (a subsidiary of Medtronic)
  • Ethicon (a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson)
  • Gore

HERNIA MESH LAWSUITS

Tens of thousands have filed hernia mesh lawsuits nationwide in both state and federal courts. There are currently four hernia mesh multidistrict litigations (MDLs) that target Bard, Covidien, Atrium Medical Corp., and Ethicon. An MDL centralizes lawsuits with similar claims under one federal judge in order to handle cases more efficiently.
