Ethicon surgical staplers medical device alert
A medical device alert has been issued and published by the MHRA in relation to Ethicon surgical staplers, which have reportedly caused injury to some patients.
It’s understood that there’s a risk that some of the devices manufactured from March 2018 have not been working properly. Reported issues include the devices misfiring or failing to fire the staples during surgery. The MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) say that there has been increased complaints of malformed stables with some devices being returned.
With this issue involving invasive surgery, the alert is one that needs to be taken incredibly seriously.
Private mesh removal surgery and compensation claims
In some cases, women feel that the only way forward is to opt for private mesh removal surgery when suffering problems after a vaginal mesh procedure.
We represent a number of women who are claiming for compensation having suffered pelvic mesh complications. We know how bad it can be, especially when some patients are left unable to walk or work at all. We know of cases where women have struggled to get help and advice form the NHS, and cases where patients are waiting over a year for referrals.
You may feel that you have to take matters into your own hands and go for private treatment and surgery. This can be factored into a claim for compensation.
TVT mesh claims: join the action
You can join the legal action we’ve launched for women who are making TVT mesh claims having suffered problems and complications following their surgery.
Although different women can suffer in different ways, and each person has their own claim for compensation, we’re acting for a group that may either form into one action or remain as a multi-party action. These kinds of medical group actions are what we specialise in. We’ve recovered over £1.3m in compensation for a similar medical group action, and we’ve been appointed to the Steering Committee leading what’s set to be one of the biggest consumer actions in the UK.
When it comes to group actions, our expertise speaks for itself. Women who have yet to start TVT mesh claims may be eligible for our help today.
British Airways data breach compensation action
We’ve launched a British Airways data breach compensation action after the revelation that the data for 380,000 payment cards has been compromised.
British Airways should have notified all victims to confirm that they’ve been affected by the breach by now. The breach period took place between 10.58pm on 21 August 2018 and 9:45pm on 5 September 2018. If you made a payment during this period, you may be affected.
The British Airways data breach compensation action is one of dozens of group action cases our lawyers are, and have been, engaged in. For help and advice now, please contact the team.
