Bard Mesh Lawsuit
The bard mesh is one of the most popular hernia patches, but there are a variety of products made by the company that have been linked to a variety of serious health problems. Some of these products have been recalled by C.R. Bard, and some of them are still on the market today. Other products have also been recalled by Atrium, including the C-QUR V Patch, TacShield Edge, and C-QUR meshes. The problems stemmed from humidity at the plant where the products were manufactured.
Composix Kugel
The Composix Kugel and Bard Mesh are both mesh implants used to repair ventral hernias. However, both have serious risks and have been the subject of numerous lawsuits. The Composix Kugel has also been recalled multiple times, with several reports of serious injuries and medical problems. Whether this product is worth the risk or not is a matter of opinion.
The Composix Kugel has metal memory rings placed between the fibrous layer and the mesh. The Bard Mesh is made from plastic, and the polypropylene plastic mesh in the Bard device can break or tear easily. In addition, the plastic mesh can migrate to other areas of the body and can lead to a variety of other health problems.
Transvaginal mesh
In the Bard mesh lawsuit, a global settlement could avoid the need for thousands of similar cases to be remanded to U.S. District Courts for a future trial. A settlement master was appointed by the federal district court to oversee the proceedings. He or she will serve as an intermediary between the plaintiffs and Bard.
The settlement fund for defective medical devices can be in the millions of dollars. It’s divided up among plaintiffs. For example, if there’s a $50 million settlement fund, each plaintiff can expect to receive $50,000. This is because Bard has been linked to numerous complications, including hernia complications caused by hernia mesh implants. In Rhode Island, there are thousands of similar cases.
C.R. Bard’s Kugel hernia patch
C.R. Bard has settled most of the personal injury lawsuits filed against it over the Kugel hernia patch. According to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company has paid $184 million in settlements related to the recalled patch. However, the company has not yet ceased production of the patch.
The Kugel mesh patch was approved by the FDA in 1996, but later recalled for causing problems. It was designed with a memory coil that can break or bend, causing the patch to protrude from the patient’s abdomen. This can lead to the development of chronic enteric fistulas. The FDA issued a Class I recall of the Kugel patch in 2006, but most Bard products remain on the market.
