Defective and poorly designed medical devices can be dangerous, and they injure many Americans every year. Many medical devices are created or produced in order to help improve someone’s quality of life after an illness or injury. However, if that device is not designed or manufactured properly, or is not adequately tested, additional health problems and serious injuries can result.
Some typical defective medical device cases include cases involving hip replacements and implants, knee replacements and implants, bladder slings, and transvaginal mesh.
