Who is being sued?

C.R. Bard

This hernia mesh manufacturer created the 3DMax hernia mesh. The 3DMax was put on the market in 2009 and is made up of a material called polypropylene. The 3DMax did not have to go through pre-market studies and was approved in October 2008 through the 510(k) program.

Bard claims that the 3DMax Mesh is fixation-free, easy to position, and reduces pain for patients. However, the polypropylene material has been known to cause many health complications such as chronic pain, mesh migration, and mesh rejection. Some patients even require additional surgery.

C.R. Bard’s Composix Kugel Mesh was another defective medical device manufactured by the company that was recalled. This particular product was recalled in 2005, 2006, and 2007. There have been a plethora of lawsuits involving Kugel Mesh and millions of dollars have been paid in jury awards and settlements.

Other hernia mesh products that have been repeatedly recalled include:

Bard Composix E/X
Bard PerFix Plug
Bard Sepramesh
Bard Ventralex ST

Many Bard Lawsuits are being filed with allegations of the company selling defective hernia mesh. These lawsuits are in state and federal courts all over the country. If you have experience complications because of a C.R. Bard hernia mesh medical device, then contact a professional attorney today.

Atrium Medical Corp

The C-Qur mesh, manufactured initially by Atrium, but now sold by Maquet, is another defective mesh device that has been recalled.
