The basic problem with the Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch is that it has tended to cause intestinal perforations, and consequently possible ischemic bowel, and serious injury and death from septic shock.
The Kugel Hernia Patch, manufactured by Davol Inc., a subsidiary of. C.R. Bard, was first recalled by the FDA on December 22, 2005 (Class I recall on certain models).
The Kugel Hernia Patch is used to repair ventral (incisional) hernias, caused by thinning or stretching of scar tissue that forms after surgery. The patch is placed behind the hernia defect through a small incision. The patch is then held open by a patented “memory coil ring” that allows the patch to be folded for insertion and later spring open and lay flat once it is in place.
The reason for the recall is that the memory coil ring can break, possibly releasing the mesh. This can lead to abdominal pain, abdominal wall infection, bowel obstruction, bowel perforations and/or chronic enteric fistulas (abnormal connections or passageways between the intestines and other organs).
