Hernia repair is a very common surgery performed in the United States, yet many patients end up reporting serious post-op complications from implanted mesh devices. Patients with Bard’s 3D Max mesh device, and other mesh implants include nerve damage, infections, bowel obstruction, hernia recurrence, and a resulting revision surgery.
Doctors have utilized and touted surgical hernia mesh devices for years. Most of the available devices are made with a synthetic material called polypropylene, a material that has led to thousands of lawsuits against Bard and other medical mesh manufacturers due to complications and subsequent injury.
C.R. Bard and Davol have manufactured the 3D Max Mesh device—used for inguinal hernia repair—since 2007. There has been no device recall related to the 3DMax hernia mesh, but many injuries and lawsuits pending. Lawyers allege the mesh is defective, unreasonably dangerous and argue the companies did not properly warn recipients of the health risks involved with implantation.
3DMax hernia mesh is now linked to chronic pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, infection and other adverse injury reports. Many people surgically implanted with the Bard 3DMax mesh device are seeking compensation through litigation across the United States.
Joe Lyon is a highly-rated Ohio product liability lawyer representing plaintiffs nationwide in a wide variety of defective medical device claims.

Why are these cases important?
Defective medical device litigation helps to improve patient safety and holds medical device companies accountable when defective products injure plaintiffs and clients.
Hernia Mesh Litigation
Attorneys claim several hernia mesh devices were not properly tested before they were marketed and distributed as safe medical instruments.
The companies currently face thousands of pending hernia mesh injury lawsuits. If you have had surgery to treat a hernia using a device and you experience any signs or symptoms of recurrence of the hernia, please consult with a medical and legal expert. The Lyon Firm has experience litigating cases against medical device manufacturers.
Attorneys contend that some hernia mesh devices are not properly tested before they are distributed to the public as safe products. Device companies like Gore, Aspide, Ethicon, Bard, Covidien and Atrium have settled hundreds of lawsuits and currently face countless more injury claims.
If you are unsure about the mesh manufacturer and product used in your surgery and have questions about your hernia repair, contact your Ohio surgeon to obtain medical records. Contact a Cincinnati hernia mesh lawyer to discuss potential hernia mesh injury lawsuits and settlement.

Regardless of treatment, hernias have a high rate of recurrence, and surgeons often use surgical mesh to strengthen the hernia repair recurrence rate. The use of meshes is thought to reduce dramatically the incidence of hernia recurrence.
However, up to 50 percent of hernias may reoccur with an implanted device. This is commonly due to inadequate fixation during the original operation or shrinkage of the mesh. Light-weight meshes may have a higher risk due to their increased flexibility and movement.
Two-thirds of recurrences occur after three years. It is not clear if the type of mesh used has any effect on durability. All mesh products appear equally limited in effectiveness.
