Davol first began manufacturing its hernia mesh patches in 1998 to mitigate the tissue bulging caused by the common abdominal wall hernia.  The active component of the Bard Composix Kugel Mesh patch is a memory recoil ring that surgeons must surgically implant into the patient during a hernia surgery.  Coincidently it is the memory recoil ring that has resulted in thousands of Kugel Hernia Patch Defect Claims against Davol.  The Kugel hernia patch was recalled by Davol in late 2005 amidst pressure and consumer warnings by the Food & Drug Administration.

A defective Kugel hernia mesh patch can cause the patient more pain and suffering than originally caused by the hernia itself.  The Kugel hernia patch is known to fail inside the patient and cause numerous complications, including bowel obstructions and perforations, extreme abdominal pain, and chronic enteric fistula.  Kugel hernia patch injury claims are very serious and require the zealous representation of a Kugel hernia patch injury lawyer.

Patients who have been implanted with a Kugel hernia patch should be aware that Davol recalled the product in 2005 and that inspections of the Davol corporate resulted in serious concerns by the FDA.  Davol is suspected of careless bookkeeping of hernia patch defect claims against the company in a purposeful attempt to conceal product deficencies.  Don't be victimized twice by a careless corporation, contact a hernia patch defect lawyer at (866) 840-3636 immediately to discuss your products liability claim.
