Davol Inc. has issued a total of three hernia patch recalls for the Composix Kugel mesh patch since the first was announced in December 2005. Tests have shown that the “memory recoil ring” which surrounds the Kugel mesh hernia patch can break after it is implanted.

When this happens, the broken patch may cause severe health problems, including bowel perforation, bowel obstruction and chronic enteric fistulas—abnormal connections between two parts of the intestines.

In some cases, these hernia patch side effects can be fatal.

Many patients who were injured after using the Kugel patch have filed hernia patch lawsuits against Davol and its parent company, C.R. Bard Inc.

These lawsuits have alleged that the two companies knew of design flaws in the device which could cause hernia patch side effects.

If you have suffered hernia patch side effects and are considering filing a lawsuit, contacting an attorney is the first step in receiving compensation for your injuries.

An experienced hernia patch lawyer understands the complexities of filing a Kugel lawsuit and can give you the advice you need to proceed with your case.
