Kugel Mesh for Hernia recalled

The Kugel Mesh for Hernia has been Recalled. Composix Kugel Mesh Recall was instituted by the FDA and according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration the Kugel Hernia Patch has a reasonable probability to cause serious adverse health consequences, including death.

The FDA prompted an immediate recall of Bard Composix® Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch on December 22, 2005 and updated the list of affected products on the recall once again on January 10, 2007.

It should be noted that the “memory recoil ring” that is the device that opens the Composix Kugel Mesh Patch insertion into the intra-abdominal area may break. The result of a breakage can result in bowel perforations and/or chronic intestinal fistulae (abnormal connections or passageways between the intestines and other organs). This is why Kugel Mesh Patch for Hernia has been recalled.

The FDA has strongly given the advice to patients who have had this device inserted during hernia surgery seek the attention of a physician if abdomen pain, fever, sensitivity at the implant site or other unusual symptoms are occurring.

Instructions from the FDA to doctors medical facilities have been given to cease using the Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch and has comply with the Kugel Mesh recall and return the recalled patches and any other unused patches to the manufacturer.
