BARD COMPOSIX KUGELL HERNIA PATCH RECALL

The FDA expanded its product recall of this mesh hernia patch to include additional product codes and lot numbers of the Bard® Composix® Kugel® Mesh Patch used to repair ventral (incisional) hernias caused by thinning or stretching of scar tissue that forms after surgery.

The "memory recoil ring" that opens the Bard®Composix® Kugel® Mesh Patch can break under the stress of placement of the large sized products in the intra-abdominal (inside the belly area) space. This can lead to bowel perforations (rupture) and/or chronic (recurring) intestinal fistulae (abnormal connections or passageways between the intestines and other organs).

If you or a loved one had this patch implanted, contact your physician immediately.
