Surgical Stapler Lawsuits

• Surgical staplers are used by doctors and surgeons to close wounds or incisions. They have caused injuries by firing malformed staples into organs or other tissues in the body. Some staplers did not fire all staples necessary to bind an incision, which caused bleeding or left an incision unsealed.
• The FDA initiated a class 1 recall and have found more than 41,000 adverse event reports filed.
• Surgical Stapler lawsuits claim that surgical staplers malfunctioned and that this design defect caused infections, serious injuries such as internal bleeding and organ damage, or death when used in operations. These malfunctions, defective designs and misuse of surgical staplers often leaves patients with long-term or permanent consequences and/or requiring additional surgeries and treatments.
