  1. Surgical staple injuries: can you file a claim?  https://www.lezdotechmed.com/blog/product‐liability/surgical‐stapler‐injuries/  Surgical staplers and staples have benefits over traditional sutures. Several may be risk‐free and are often  employed in various procedures, but they carry some danger. The use of a stapler during surgery might  result in surgical stapler injuries.  surgicalstaplerinjuries  Surgical staple injuries: can you file a claim?  https://www.lezdotechmed.com/blog/product‐liability/surgical‐stapler‐injuries/  Every year, millions of operations in the United States employ surgical staplers, which are present in  practically all operating rooms. The internal staples are produced from titanium and bio‐absorbable  materials, and the staplers can be made of metal or medical‐grade plastic as an alternative to traditional  suturing. The device and staples are used during thoracic, gastrointestinal, gynecological, and other  operations, such as appendectomies and gastric bypass surgeries.  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has sent essential guidance to medical professionals on the proper  use of surgical staplers and internal use staples. More than 41,000 medical device reports have been  submitted  to  the  government  detailing  several  grave  problems  with  surgical  staplers  and  internally  implanted staples.  Patients are vulnerable to consequences such as internal bleeding, life‐threatening infections, hazardous  injuries to essential organs, and even death when these staplers malfunction or are not utilized properly.  Research by the FDA is described in the FDA letter. Surgical staplers and staples were linked to 366  fatalities, more than 9,000 serious injuries, and more than 32,000 malfunctions between 2011 and March  21,  2018,  according  to  the  agency's  examination  of  more  than  41,000  individual  medical  device  complaints.  Patients who sustain surgical stapler injuries from defective surgical staplers may file a surgical stapler  product liability case against the maker to recover damages for their harm. Manufacturers of surgical  staplers like Ethicon, Medtronic, and others are responsible for ensuring their devices are secure and  efficient for the applications for which they are designed. When a stapling device results in severe injuries,  it is most likely because of a malfunction, design flaw, or manufacturing defect for which the maker is  accountable.  Infection, severe pain, and sepsis are a few potential issues that may arise from faulty staplers and surgical  staples. These issues have required revision operations, led to organ loss, and even resulted in fatalities.  Covidien, plc. and Ethicon, producers of surgical staplers, have been parties to litigation or recalls involving  faulty surgical staplers. If you were injured during surgery and surgical staplers were used to close an open  or closed wound, you may be eligible for compensation. LezDo techmed can assist you in evaluating your  medical records for your injuries like scooter accidents, insulin pump injuries, erb’s palsy, and post‐ concussion syndrome.
