FDA RECALL OF HERNIA PATCH
The Bard Composit Kugel Mesh Patch is used to repair ventral (incisional) hernias. The FDA, along with the cooperation of Davol , Inc, has issued several Class 1 recalls, which are the most serious recalls indicating serious risk of bodily harm. The reason for the recall is that the “memory recoil ring”, is prone to break and can cause bowel perforation, intestinal fistulae (abnormal connections with the intestines or other organs).
The recall was first initiated in December, 2005, but has been expanded, most recently in January, 2007. For more information, including the list of recalled products, see the attached FDA documents.
