That's actually more common than you'd think. Many patients aren't told the specific product name during their surgery. We can identify the exact device through your surgical records — specifically the operative report and the implant log, which hospitals are required to maintain. We request these on your behalf and match the product to the manufacturer and model number.

Absolutely. FDA recall status and legal liability are two separate things. Many mesh products that are the subject of lawsuits were never formally recalled. The litigation is based on design defects, failure to warn, and documented adverse outcomes — not on whether the FDA issued a recall. Your confirmed erosion and ongoing complications are the evidentiary foundation, regardless of recall classification.

Great question. The statute of limitations for medical device cases typically begins when you discover — or reasonably should have discovered — the injury, not when the device was implanted. Since your mesh erosion was only confirmed last month, your discovery date is recent, which means you're well within the filing window. That said, it's always best to act promptly, as these windows can vary by jurisdiction.
