What is a Defective Medical Product?
A defective medical product can be any device, implant or equipment intended for medical use that has a design, manufacturing or labelling flaw. These defects can cause injury, illness or even death to patients who rely on the product for treatment or support.
Examples of defective medical products include:
- Faulty implants (e.g., hip replacements, knee replacements)
- Defective surgical instruments
- Contaminated medical devices (e.g., catheters, pacemakers, stents)
- Dangerous drugs and devices
(e.g., defective insulin pumps, birth control devices)
- Misleading labels or instructions
that lead to improper use of medical devices
When these products fail, they can result in serious harm such as infections, chronic pain, physical disability, or even permanent impairment. If you or someone close to you has been affected by a defective medical product, it’s crucial to seek expert legal advice as soon as possible.
