Defective Medical Equipment and Devices

Millions of Americans undergo medical care every year, trusting that the medical equipment and devices being used are safe and effective. In too many cases, however, medical equipment malfunctions, or devices are proven to be unsafe and even deadly.

The attorneys at The Law Offices of Frank L. Branson have decades of experience pursuing medical device litigation on behalf of seriously injured patients and their families. Some defective medical device lawsuits have been severely restricted by federal preemption and state laws. However, some lawsuits may still be filed against some manufacturers. Here are some examples of medical devices that have been found defective over the years:

• heart stents
• implants
• hip replacements
• pacemakers
• artificial joints
• heart valves
• diagnostic equipment
• hospital beds
• pain pumps
• syringes
• patient lifts
• prostheses
• other types of defective medical equipment and devices
