Surgical Stapler and Staples Lawsuits
Surgical staples and staplers continue to grow as a persistent problem in the medical community as these devices injure hundreds every year. In March 2019, FDA officials found after combing through over 41,000 individual medical device reports recorded from 2011 to 2018, surgical staples and staplers for internal use caused the following grievous incidents:
- 366 deaths
- 9,000+ serious injuries
- 32,000+ malfunctions
The FDA plans to help the growing problem through providing detailed recommendations for health care providers using surgical staplers/staples. However, current and past patients suffering from surgical stapler and stapler injuries remain the victims of dangerously defective products. AVA Law Group wants to connect you with the legal assistance you need to receive compensation and justice for your unneeded suffering.

What are Surgical Staples/Staplers?
Surgical staples are usually used in place of manual suturing. According to the FDA, surgical staplers and staples may be applied in a wide range of surgeries to remove part of an organ, create connections between internal and external structures, and cut through organs and tissues. Surgical staples come in several different types including titanium, plastic, and polylactide-polyglycolide copolymer.
Surgical staplers are used to place external and internal staples and have advantages including quick placement, minimal tissue reaction, low risk of infection, and strong wound closure.
However, surgical staple and stapler defects or guides lacking proper information and instruction for surgical staples and staplers can quickly turn them into a hazard for patients instead of a help.
Commonly Reported Surgical Staples/Stapler Problems
