It strains credulity to believe that Bard and its subsidiary Davol Inc. continue, to this day, to manufacture and market Ventralex hernia mesh patches. Say it ain’t so Bard / Davol ! Bard is facing hernia mesh lawsuits as a result of its allegedly defective hernia mesh patch medical device, Ventralex. The hernia mesh litigation seeks damages against Bard and of course its subsidiary, Davol Inc. If you are seeking a hernia mesh lawyer to pursue a Ventralex mesh lawsuit or a ventralex st mesh lawsuit, contact a top Ventralex mesh law firm. It is crucial that victims do not delay filing a hernia mesh lawsuit or they may miss a deadline / hernia mesh statute of limitations. If a hernia mesh lawsuit is filed too late then the manufacturers’ hernia mesh law firm will seek to dismiss the mesh lawsuit on the grounds of the mesh statute of limitations.

Ventralex mesh is still being implanted in victims by surgeons! Ventralex is a polypropylene hernia mesh patch. Not surprisingly, Bard’s transvaginal mesh and bladder sling products also are made using polypropylene mesh. Bard and its subsidiary Davol ignore and overlook the dangers and risks of polypropylene mesh. It is important to note that there is no Ventralex mesh class action nor has there been a Ventralex recall by the FDA.

Bard / Davol Ventralex hernia patch lawsuits

According to Bard Davol Inc.’s website “The Ventralex™ Hernia Patch is a self-expanding polypropylene and ePTFE patch that allows for an intraabdominal, tension-free repair. This technique is designed to eliminate the lateral dissection typically required for preperitoneal placement, which may help minimize post op pain. Deep placement of the prosthetic also allows for a strong repair and less chance of recurrence.” C.R. BARD, INC. of 100 Sockanossett Crossroad, Cranston Rhode Island submitted an FDA  510(k) Premarket Notification on 05/28/2002.

In 2002, the FDA approved Bard’s application clearing Ventralex to be sold in United States markets. The controversial 510k process utilized by Bard allowed Bard / Davol to fast track Ventralex without human testing.

What is Ventralex hernia patch?

The peripheral edge of the mesh was heat sealed to the ePTFE layer. In or around December 2013, Defendants initiated remedial measure by manufacturing the Ventralex Hernia Patch With PDO absorbable ring encased in small pore, heavyweight, unsuitable polypropylene tube, instead of the PET ring.

Bard settles vaginal mesh claims:

“Bard has agreed to settle almost 3,000 vaginal mesh lawsuits filed against the medical device manufacturer by women who claim the transvaginal mesh systems caused them to suffer perforation in their pelvic floor as well as sustaining other damages to the tissue surrounding the mesh. Although one woman won a $2 million vaginal mesh verdict in 2014, it is expected that the majority of plaintiffs represented in these transvaginal mesh lawsuits will take the proposed Bard settlements rather than continue with further litigation.” Top Class actions
