Defective or poorly designed and manufactured medical devices and instruments cause serious injuries and deaths every year in the United States. Some of these defective medical devices are recalled, while others are not and remain available for future damaging uses.

Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for testing and approving every medical device and instrument for safety and effectiveness, the FDA has shown it is unable to test all medical devices and instruments. Recently, problems have surfaced with implantable cardiac defibrillators and cardiac pacemakers. The list of dangerous medical devices and instruments includes, but is not limited to, dialysis filters, hip replacement joints, stents, insulin pumps, knee joint implants and surgical staples.

Cases involving defective medical devices and instruments are complex and costly to litigate, so you need an experienced, competent medical product liability attorney with The Cochran Firm to evaluate and determine whether you have been a victim of a defective medical device or instrument without delay to stay within the strict time limits that govern the medical product liability laws.
