Composix Kugel Mesh Patch

Information provided by a Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch Defect Attorney

The Composix Kugel Mesh Patch was developed to be used to repair hernias in the abdominal region. It can be used for the repair of other hernias also. Normally, hernias can be repaired surgically. When the muscles are too weak or too thin for surgical repair (usually due to scar tissue in the area) the Composix Kugel Mesh is a viable option. The mesh was developed to provide support to the stomach muscles and to keep the intestines within the abdominal cavity.

Some of the Composix Kugel Mesh Patches have allegedly had defects in the “memory recoil ring” and the adhesive Marlex mesh. The ring is prone to breakage and can move around inside the patient, wreaking havoc on the organs and other soft tissue. The adhesive is known to move away from the abdominal wall and attach to internal organs. Injuries to patients include abscesses, bowel obstruction, sepsis, intestinal perforations, chronic intestinal fistulae and migration of the ring through the abdominal wall.
