› $150,000,000 verdict in personal injury case
With the constant advancements in medical practices and technology, it is sometimes easy for medical professionals to become too confident in their abilities and overlook the underlying facts that are in front of them. This degree of confidence may have been the case for the recall on the Kugel hernia patch made by Davol, a subsidiary of C.R. Bard Inc., which now is paying for its apparent lack of concern over product safety.
We live in a time when ultramodern technology permeates every aspect of our lives at blistering speeds. Nearly every day we hear of yet another advancement that promises to better our lives in some way. Medicine and medical technologies, such as the Kugel Mesh Patch used to treat hernias, stand on the forefront of medicine’s quantum push forward. Manufactured by Devol, Inc., the Kugel Mesh Patch consists of a circle or oval of mesh that is surrounded by a plastic ring. The device is engineered and folded so that it may be surgically inserted into a small incision. Once in place, the patch unfolds and expands and the abdominal wall is reinforced.
In 2003, when Janine Ryan’s (not her real name pending a lawsuit) mother, Sophia, had a Kugel Mesh hernia patch implanted, neither knew that there were any possible risks associated with the patch. But Sophia’s patch broke, causing her to experience severe pain and other serious problems. Like many other people, Ryan and Sophia are upset that they were never warned about the possibility of the Kugel Mesh patch breaking.
Rockville, MD: Just because the Kugel Mesh Patch was recalled over a year ago does not mean that adverse event reports regarding the hernia patch are no longer being submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In fact, the FDA received numerous reports in August of serious problems with the Kugel Mesh Patch, some of them life-threatening incidents.
