What is a Faulty or Defective Medical Device?
Medical devices such as artificial joints or implanted rods and screws are life improving if installed and manufactured correctly. Medical device companies are under a duty to ensure their products are fully tested and safe for surgical use. They are also under a duty to fully disclose all risks associated with the use of their products. It is only through a full and complete disclosure that a patient can make an informed decision with respect to utilizing medical devices as a surgical option. Sadly, some medical devices companies fail to fully research their products, instead rushing them to the market in order to maximize profits. Any time profits are placed above people, people tend to get hurt. Failure to fully disclose the safety and effectiveness of a medical product deprives patients of their rights and an Oklahoma City defective medical device attorney at McIntyre Law is here to help our clients fight for those rights.
