What Is The Ethicon Surgical Staples Recall/Lawsuit About?
The Ethicon Surgical Staples recall/lawsuit arose after the FDA’s investigation into a number of complaints of Surgical Staples failing to fully penetrate the tissue and/or failing to fully dissolve within the wound after being used for closing incisions during surgery. In fact, the FDA’s report about this investigation indicated that as many as 25% of these staples had failed to properly penetrate the tissue. This, of course, is a huge problem since the entire purpose of using Surgical Staples is to ensure that an incision is properly and tightly closed so that the bacteria cannot get into the body, and so that the wound can properly heal. The FDA concluded that these problems were likely the result of the incorrect placement of Ethicon Surgical Staples into the tissue.
