Defective Medical Device Lawsuit AttorneysThe medical device recall attorneys at Estey & Bomberger represent individuals and families who have suffered serious injury from dangerous and defective medical devices. Our aggressive trial attorneys have successfully recovered millions of dollars in injury and wrongful death claims against the manufacturers of various medical devices, including defective defibrillators and pacemakers, heart valves, arterial stents, catheters, and artificial joints. With more than 70 years of collective experience, our lawyers have the experience, knowledge and resources to hold manufacturers accountable for manufacturing and selling defective medical devices that cause injury or death. Examples of Defective Medical Devices Despite the best efforts of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), defective and dangerous medical devices continue to be released on the market and in some cases, they are surgically implanted in patients. Some examples of defective products include: Medtronic pacemakers: Medtronic has issued recalls of their Medtronic Sigma Series and Medtronic Kappa Serious pacemakers that could fail and leave patients without the benefit of the device. These devices may fail due to a separation of wires that connect the electronic circuit to other pacemaker components, such as the battery. Medtronic defibrillators: Medtronic has recalled numerous defibrillators, including the Marquis VR/DR, the Maximo VR/DR ICD models, the InSync I/II/III Marquis and the InSync III Protect CRT-D devices. Guidant defibrillators: Guidant Corporation issued a safety warning and recall of defibrillators including the Ventak Prizm 2 DR, Ventak Prizm AVT (Class II), Vitality AVT (Class II), Prizm AVT, Prizm 2 DR, Model 1861 (Class I), and Prizm 2 DR. The defibrillators could possibly malfunction and short-circuit. Guidant pacemakers: Guidant Corporation issued a safety warning and recall of pacemakers including the Pulsar, Pulsar Max, Discovery, Meridian, Pulsar Max II, Discovery II, Virtus Plus II, Intelis II, and Contak TR. The pacemakers could potentially cause the heartbeat to accelerate. Vail Enclosed Bed Systems: In 2005, the FDA warned that the use of these bed systems pose a health risk because they can trap and suffocate the user. The FDA received reports of about 30 entrapments, seven of which resulted in death. Stryker shoulder pain pumps: Studies link the use of intra-articular shoulder pain pumps following arthroscopic shoulder surgery to a serious condition known as Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL). Sulzer hip implants: On December 8, 2000, Sulzer Orthopedics recalled 17,500 hip implants implanted in United States patients. More than 1,800 artificial hips had to be surgically replaced.
