Johns needed additional surgery to repair the faulty mesh and on top of that, he had two more hernias and had a third surgery to correct the recurrence-with another patch of Ventralight implanted. Johns alleged in his complaint that a patch of Ventralight ST he had surgically implanted in 2015 to repair an abdominal hernia caused him persistent and debilitating pain, reported Reuters.
Bard 3d max mesh trial#
During the month-long trial Bard’s main strategy was to admit that the Ventralight was not perfect, but that there was no feasible, alternative design that would have made it safer. Bard’s defense council emphasized that Johns and his experts couldn’t explain how Bard could have changed the design of the Ventralight in order to make it better and safer. Steven Johns was the first plaintiff in the Bard Hernia Mesh MDL to have their case decided by a jury as part of the “bellwether” trials. One attorney expects the same pattern, i.e., the second bellwether trial underway now will result in a win for the plaintiff, and that Bard will “sue for peace and negotiate a settlement of the remaining cases rather than continue to try their luck on more bellwether trials,” and optimistically, “a global settlement is still almost a foregone conclusion.” This triggered Bard to reach a global settlement of $184 million to resolve more than 2,000 remaining cases.

Bard also won the first bellwether trial but the second trial resulted in a $1,500,000 verdict for the plaintiff. To keep hopes up, plaintiffs might want to remember the similar Bard Kugel Mesh litigation a decade ago where thousands of cases alleging a defect in its mesh implant caused part of it to break off inside patients and damage their bowel. All the claims allege that Bard’s mesh devices-Ventralex, Ventralight, Prefix, and 3D Max-caused debilitating pain, inflammation and/or infection. Many plaintiffs required additional surgeries to remove the mesh-which is the only treatment but often not the cure. Bard claiming the mesh is defective have been consolidated into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) in Columbus, Ohio, making it the third-largest MDL in the U.S. Over 13,000 hernia mesh lawsuits against C.R. Dayton, OHWhile the first Bard hernia mesh bellwether trial is described by legal experts as a “crushing blow” to plaintiffs, others opine that it will likely have minimal impact on the overall outcome of the hernia mesh litigation.
