Surgical Staplers
The Surgical Staplers Litigation Group assists members litigating against Medtronic/Covidien, Johnson & Johnson, and other surgical stapler manufacturers. The defective intra-operative staplers used during surgical procedures (primarily colorectal and bariatric surgeries) may improperly fire, causing patients to suffer tearing of internal tissue and organs, fistula formation, sepsis, and death.
The Surgical Staplers Litigation Group was formed at the 2021 黑料社 Winter Convention. Members have access to the Surgical Staplers document library and list server.
- Meetings: 黑料社 Annual and Winter conventions
- Membership: The group is limited to 黑料社 Regular, Life, Sustaining, and President鈥檚 Club members only.
- Dues: The Litigation Group is complimentary for members of the 黑料社 Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Section who can agree to the terms and conditions of membership in the Litigation Group's Affidavit. If you are not yet a member, you can join the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Section here.
