Medical Devices Linked With Numerous Injuries
Medical devices, like joint implants, IVC filters, and transvaginal mesh have been linked with a number of injuries. In some cases, manufacturers may have failed to warn physicians and consumers of potential links to dangerous side effects. In other cases, these effects simply were not anticipated but developed after the products were put into use. Sometimes the effects are more dangerous than the conditions the medical device treated. In other cases, individuals have had to undergo a number of painful and debilitating surgeries in order to fix damage done to their body.
The FDA has recognized a number of dangerous medical devices, and issued alerts to physicians and the public. These alerts are meant to warn consumers and their doctors about potential dangers that may occur. Often, however, these warnings come too late for individuals already affected.
