Medical products are not always safe

On Behalf of | Aug 8, 2017 | Medical Malpractice

When a person opts for a surgical procedure, such as one that calls for the implantation of a medical device, they assume that it will improve their health.

Unfortunately, this does not always happen. For example, a defective medical product could be used, thus causing more harm than good.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does its best to regulate the safety and effectiveness of all medical devices that reach the market. Even so, there are times when a defective product slips through the cracks, thus causing a lot of people pain and suffering.

As a patient, the best thing you can do is research the finer details of your procedure. It’s also important to work closely with a well-qualified medical team. Doing these things can lessen the likelihood of a problem.

If you find that you have been a victim of a defective medical product, you’ll need to do the following:

  • Learn more about what went wrong
  • Consult with your medical team about the best follow up care
  • Learn more about your legal rights
