Women's Hernia Repair: Bard® Composix® Kugel® Mesh Patch
Introduction
Composix Kugel Mesh Patch The Bard® Composix® Kugel® Mesh Patch (Kugel Patch) was used to repair ventral or incisional hernias caused by thinning or stretching of scar tissue that occurs around incisions after surgery. The working component of the patch is a plastic "memory recoil ring" that causes the patch to spring open after surgeons fold it flat in order to insert it into the body. Unfortunately, this "memory recoil ring” is prone to breakage during the stress of placing it inside the body. Should this device break, it can cause a number of serious and potentially life-threatening complications, such as bowel perforation and/or chronic intestinal fistulae, or abnormal connections of passageways between intestines and other gastrointestinal organs.

The Composix Kugel Mesh Patch is manufactured by Davol, Inc., a division of C.R. Bard. On January 24, 2007, the FDA issued the following Kugel Hernia Patch safety alert: "Recall classified as Class I because the defect associated with the use or exposure to the Bard Composix Kugel Mesh Large Patch has a reasonable probability to cause serious adverse health consequences, including death."
