Is Their Hope For C. R. Bard’s Mesh Victims?

The momentum in settling the lawsuits against infamous Composix Kugel Mesh manufacturer, C.R. Bard, could mean good news for numerous victims of the hernia mesh. The given blog tries to shed some light on the corporate giant and why patients are rallying up against them.    



Early this year, a large number of abdominal hernia mesh lawsuit and multidistrict litigations (MDL) against hernia mesh manufacturer C.R. Bard and its subsidiary, Davol, were heading towards bellwether trials in the Rhode Island state. On the other part of the country, several MDLs were equally gaining momentum and moving swiftly towards the same fate. 

These actions against the pharmaceutical giant and its economic subsidiary could finally mean justice for the patients injured by the medical devices produced by the company. According to the victims, the corporation and its subsidiary wing hid the defects of their product and deliberately endangered the patient’s life. 

C.R Bard and hernia meshes 

C.R. Bard specializes in making implants and patches that help in disease management. It has produced several hernia meshes, including the infamous Composix Kugel meshes. The corporation has received backlash due to its hernia related surgical implants, made from polypropylene.

The giant has been slapped with numerous lawsuits, litigations, and bellwether cases, and had to pay close to $184 million at the beginning of the decade to settle more than 2,500 lawsuits. With such a background, things are already looking very grim for the company.

List of Bard produced hernia meshes include:
  • AlloMaxBard Soft Meshs
  • Composix
  • Ventralight
  • OnFlex
  • Sepramesh IP Composite
  • Bard Mesh Sheets
  • MK Patch
How hernia meshes affected the patients? 

These hernia meshes were responsible for causing multiple injuries and complications among several patients undergoing surgeries to manage the condition. The complications include:
  • Stabbing pain in the abdomen
  • Mesh adhesion 
  • Severe infection, fluid discharge, and seroma
  • Bowel obstruction
  • Mesh migration
  • Mesh failure

In most cases, the patients have to undergo multiple risky surgeries to mend the internal damages caused by the device. Unfortunately, these procedures are expensive, and the patients have to go through a painfully long recovery. Additionally, in a few cases, these surgeries might not be covered under medical insurance.

These complications, physical, emotional, as well as financial, are considered as damages by the US federal courts. And, the patients can seek compensation from the manufacturers for the same. Hence, the lawsuits against the mesh producers like C.R. Bard.
