Hernia Mesh Recall

Davol first announced a hernia patch recall in 2005 after it was discovered that the “memory recoil ring”, which opens the patch after it is implanted, can break under the stress of placement in the intra-abdominal space. Tests run by Davol in 2005 confirmed that a failure at the ring weld was causing the mesh patch ring failure. Due to the possibility of serious hernia mesh problems caused by the ring breaking, the hernia patch recall was later expanded to include additional product codes and lot numbers. The hard plastic memory ring can from a sharp edge which can puncture internal organs causing serious injuries including:

• bowel perforation
• bowel obstruction
• chronic intestinal fistulae
• serious infections

In January 2007, the manufacturer of the Kugel Patch expanded the Kugel mesh recall of the Bard Composix Kugel Mesh Patch. The FDA expanded list below details the recalled product codes and lot number.
