Kugel Hernia Patch Recall
Kugel Mesh Repair
The Kugel hernia mesh patch is used during hernia surgery for several types of repair procedures including:
• Inguinal
• Ventral
• Laparoscopic
The most common type of hernia repair is the ventral where the folded mesh patch is placed behind the hernia through a small incision. After the patch is properly inserted it springs open through a memory coil ring and then lays flat. A Kugel hernia patch recall was announced following increasing reports that the memory recoil ring was breaking and causing serious injuries.
C.R. Bard (Davol), the manufacturer of the Kugel hernia mesh patches, first notified consumers of the recall in December 2005. At the time of the initial Kugel recall approximately 32,000 mesh patches had been sold worldwide. The recall was later expanded to include additional lots of the Large Oval and Large Circle products. The expanded recall of the Kugel mesh patch came after Davol became aware of patients suffering from life-threatening complications such as bowel perforations and chronic enteric fistulas.
Davol initially placed blame on the surgeons doing the hernia repair surgeries stating that they were performing the procedures incorrectly. However, further testing later showed that the Kugel hernia patch consistently failed at the area where it was welded during manufacturing.
