Salt Lake City Defective Medical Device Attorney

Have you been injured by a defective medical device?

Medical science has improved greatly in the last 20 years, with incredible new medical devices that have helped numerous people with injuries and illnesses that previously would have not been treatable. Devices such as pacemakers, hip replacements, knee ACL replacements and many others have all helped to improve the lives of those affected. Sadly, there are manufacturers that have failed to properly design and test certain medical devices, which have led to severe injuries to patients who have had these devices surgically used. To determine whether you may be able to file a claim against a manufacturer, consult with a Salt Lake City defective drug and product attorney.

Certain examples of defective medical devices that have resulted in serious complications, sometimes requiring subsequent surgeries include:

Calaxo Screw - Used in reconstructive knee surgery and found to fragment after a period of time

Pain Pumps - Designed to dispense pain medication automatically through a surgically implanted pump, but subsequently found to cause cartilage damage

Sprint Fidelis - A type of pacemaker that was found to have faulty leads, causing uneven electrical impulses into the heart and possibly leading to a heart attack as a result

Zimmer Durom Cup - A device for a hip replacement which was found to fail to bond properly with the bone, thereby causing extreme pain and requiring further surgery to replace
