The Kugel Mesh Hernia Repair Patch is used to repair hernias by facilitating the growth of new tissue. However, since its release, it has become apparent that this patch has several failures and shortcomings.

The "memory recoil ring" that opens the patch once it has been inserted can malfunction, causing bowel perforations and recurring intestinal fistulae. These injuries can result in serious infections and severe pain, ultimately requiring additional surgery to repair the damage.

The FDA has recalled the Kugel Mesh Hernia Repair Patch; upon recall, surgeons and hospitals were ordered to stop using this patch immediately. Unfortunately, this recall did not come in time to protect the many victims of this defective product.

If you have received a patch and you are suffering from abdominal pain or tenderness, the FDA recommends that you seek treatment immediately. After that, make sure that your interests are protected - come to the Bohrer Law Firm. Our attorneys have more than 20 years of experience handling legal claims related to defective medical devices.
