The following was alleged by the patient's attorney: (b)(6) 2016: the patient was implanted with a bard/davol 3dmax (device #1) for the repair of an inguinal hernia.The patient underwent removal surgery in 2017 and upon entering the abdominal cavity, the patients' surgeon noted that the bard/davol 3dmax (device #1) had failed and removed the mesh.At the same time as the 3dmax (device #1) was removed, the surgeon implanted a bard/davol ventralex mesh in an attempt to repair the recurring inguinal hernia that was aggravated and caused by the initial mesh repair surgery.It is alleged that the patient has experienced abdominal pain, bloating and was/is limited in his mobility due to his injuries from the bard/davol 3dmax (device #1).The patient has suffered pain, neuropathy, fistula, scarring and intestinal blockage and will continue to suffer physical pain and mental anguish from his hernia mesh injury.As a result of having the bard/davol 3dmax (device #1) implanted, the patient has experienced significant physical pain and suffering, has sustained permanent injury, has undergone medical treatment and will likely undergo further medical treatment and procedures due to the alleged defective 3dmax (device #1).
