Bone cement complications from product recall
A regulator warning earlier this year stemmed from bone cement complications caused by an issue with the product itself.
A risk of the need for revision surgery from the use of Optipac 40 Refobacin Revision and Optipac 80 Refobacin Revision was identified. Manufacturer, Biomet UK Limited, issued a Field Safety Notice at the end of last year. The UK’s medical regulator, the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), issued their own recall advice off the back of the findings.
Anyone who has suffered with bone cement complications may find the reason is to do with the product itself as opposed to failed surgery.

Compensation for pelvic mesh problems
You can claim for personal injury compensation for pelvic mesh problems, and it’s important to claim given the severity of the issues that can arise.
We’ve spent a number of years talking about pelvic mesh problems, and we’re now at a point where the number of people suffering complications appears to be increasing, and people are far more aware of the dangers now. Only recently did the NHS finally put a widespread pause on the procedure – news we welcome – after another review into the safety and the efficacy of the devices.
With some victims left unable to walk or work for the rest of their lives, claiming compensation for personal injury and losses is incredibly important.
Are 3D printed medical devices and implants the way forward?
Medical devices and implants have come on leaps and bounds in recent years, but we often see a lot of compensation claims arising out from them as well. One issue with medical devices and implants is that they can be difficult to customise to different patients, but the issue could potentially be resolved with new 3D printing technology.
It’s early days, but 3D printed medical devices and implants are being used to help patients.
Is this new technology they the way forward to seeing a better world of safer implants and devices that can be made quickly and effectively?
