Category: Hernia Patch Recalls

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) urges patient's to determine if they have a Bard Composix Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch that is included in the hernia patch recall. The FDA recently issued a "Class 1" recall of the hernia mesh repair patch due to a defect in the "memory coil ring."

According to the FDA, the patch has reasonable probability to cause serious health consequences and adverse side affects, including death in some cases. If you are unsure if you were implanted with a Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch, you should contact your surgeon for a copy of your medical records to be sure.

If you have been implanted with a Kugel Patch and have been experiencing adverse health affects such as persistent abdominal pain, fever or tenderness to the implant site from surgery, seek medical attention immediately.
