What is the basis for the Bone Graft Lawsuit?
The Medtronic Infuse Lawsuit is based upon the fact that Medtronic sales personnel allegedly encouraged doctors to use the Infuse Bone Graft for neck surgery, even though the FDA had not approved the product for use in neck surgery. Off label use is against the law. According to a Wall Street Journal Report, Medtronic also paid a surgeon $800,000 who allegedly fabricated a study reporting positive results for the Infuse Bone Graft. The off label use of Infuse Bone Graft for neck surgeries and the attempt to mislead doctors and the public about the use of the product can form the basis of a lawsuit for failure to adequately warn of the dangerous side effects associated with the Infuse Bone Graft. Reported dangerous side effects include unwanted bone growth, pain, male sterility, swelling of the airways, difficulty breathing, speaking and swallowing, and potentially paralysis and death. Medtronic has paid $40,000,000 to settle whistleblower lawsuits over the company’s illegal activity relating to the Infuse Bone Graft. The US Senate has launched an investigation into Medtronic’s conduct.
What is the Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft?
The Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft contains recombinant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein (rhBMP) which is a genetically engineered protein that initiates bone growth. The Infuse Bone Graft was approved by the FDA for use in some back surgeries but not neck surgery.
