Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch Recall What is a hernia? A hernia occurs when a part of an internal organ commonly the intestine or colon protrudes through a weak muscle or membrane that holds the abdominal organ in place. There are several kinds of hernia namely inguinal, incisional, umbilical, and femoral hernia. Before the patch recall was announced, thousands of kugel hernia mesh patches were implanted in patients throughout the United States. Why Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch Lawsuits Emerged The kugel mesh hernia patch was designed to cure hernias. Its intricate design was created to reduce the recovery time of hernia repair surgery and decrease the incidence of hernia reappearance. The patch is made to mend inguinal, femoral, and other types of hernia. This patch is introduced through a small insertion site and then attached behind the hernia defect. Although the hernia patch may seem helpful but its drawback has pushed many patients who have undergone hernia repair surgery to file lawsuit. Kugel: Failed Hernia Mesh Repair Procedure This hernia patch developed by Dr. Robert Kugel is designed to repair ventral hernia. The Bard Composix Kugel Hernina Patch is made up of a bilayer polypropylene patch that has an outer memory recoil ring. This patch is used to correct ventral hernias that are caused by the stretching or thinning of scar tissues. This usually happens after a hernia surgery, so people resort to this if they find complications after their surgery. Once this patch is introduced in the market, almost all people with hernia welcomed this medical treatment. They thought, this patch would be the answer to their problems but that’s not really the case. Patch Recall: The Best Way to Decrease Further Complications People have the tendency to trust companies that manufacture medical products to adequately test their products before they are used during surgery. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case with the recalled Kugel mesh patches. Certain lots of the Bard Composix Kugel Mesh patch were found to be defective and the FDA ordered an instant patch recall because of this.
