Did you or someone you love go through surgical complications linked to Ethicon surgical staplers between 2015 and 2020? You may qualify to file a surgical stapler lawsuit.

What are surgical staplers?

The surgical stapler is a specialized device used in surgeries.  This device is used in place of the traditional sutures to close wounds or connect tissues such as the bowel tissues. The reason surgical staples have gained so much popularity over the years is that it reduces the risks of body inflammation at the site of the wound. It also minimizes the time required to close any wound, and the width of it after closing.

Just like the traditional sutures, the staples can be used either externally or internally. They also come in different sizes, shapes, forms, designs, and varied uses. Almost every surgeon in every city uses staples during surgery. Staplers are used in the procedure popularly known as stomach stapling. In stomach stapling surgery, a series of staplers are used to partition most of your stomach. This procedure helps to reduce the amounts of foods you consume, making you lose weight fast.

Risks associated with surgical staples.

While the use of surgical staplers has proven to be an effective and safe alternative to traditional sutures, they do come with some risks. The risk could be in the form of infections for instance, when bacteria gets right inside the wound or when staplers are placed in the wrong way as a result of negligence or by accident. This may lead to dire health implications. Also, if the staples get removed before healing, the patient may experience pain, bleeding, and swelling, making him at risk of other serious health complications.

It is important to note that these staples should never be removed at home but in a certified and approved health facility. There have been numerous recalls for surgery staplers over the past couple of years, proving how sometimes they can be dangerous to use.  Some of the surgeries which have resulted in surgical stapler lawsuits include:

  • Neck surgery
  • Appendectomy
  • Heart surgery
  • Lung surgery
  • Colostomies
  • Gastric bypass surgery

How then can you go about filing a surgical stapler lawsuit in the case you’ve had adverse effects from surgery?

Anyone who has experienced any adverse effects on the body through the use of body staplers should file a surgical stapler lawsuit. Several cases related to the same have already been filed and awarded. You may want to seek the services of a qualified surgical stapler lawsuit attorney. They can help you on how to go about determining if you are eligible to file a surgical stapler lawsuit through Ethicon surgical stapler lawsuits.

These surgical stapler lawsuits can hold Ethicon and Johnson and Johnson liable for selling alleged defective devices or products. Compensation from surgical stapler lawsuits can help you recover damages such as:

  • Medical expenses
  • Funeral expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Pain and suffering
  • Punitive damages

Choosing a surgical stapler lawsuit attorney who is qualified, competent, has many of experience, and is accredited may be your answer to compensation after the failed surgery
