Defective Medical Devices

We trust the manufacturers of medical products such as pacemakers, heart valves, knee replacements and arterial stents to be safe for our bodies. In some cases these medical products perform as expect and last for the duration of our lives. Unfortunately, in many cases these products malfunction, break or erode resulting in serious injury to the recipient. At the law firm of The Higgins Firm, we believe the makers of these dangerous medical products should be held accountable for their negligent behavior. If you have been injured as a result of a defective medical product, call the concerned and experienced lawyers at The Higgins Firm for a free consultation today.

There are two primary types of defective medical parts that cause most injuries. The first is defective joint replacement and the second is devices designed to treat heart problems.

ARTIFICIAL JOINT RECALLS

DePuy International Ltd, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, first introduced Hylamer® as an “implant-grade” polyethylene but it was later found to rapidly degrade and many people were forced to get a second implant surgery to replace the Hylamer joints.

GUIDANT RECALLS

Guidant Corporation recently issued a massive recall of its implantable defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization defibrillators due to various failures.
