About Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft

Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft contains recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP), which naturally occurs in the body.  Doctors can use this substance as a kind of scaffolding to support the growth of new bone when it is placed between the vertebrae, working as an effective treatment for degenerative disc disease and open fractures of the tibia.  The FDA has also approved Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft for use in two dental bone grafting procedures.
However, the FDA has not approved Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft for use in cervical, or neck surgeries or in any other procedures.  Not only can this substance inflame nearby tissue, but it can leak and incite bone growth in unintended areas.  When used in neck surgery, Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft can cause serious and potentially fatal injuries.

Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft Side Effects

In July 2008, the FDA warned about off-label use of Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft.  “Off-label” means the use of a product for purposes other than those approved by the FDA.  In this case, it means use of Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft in the cervical area, or neck.
The FDA states that it has received more than 200 adverse event reports concerning Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft, and up to 75% of these reports concerned off-label use of the product.  Patients who have received this product have reported the following injuries, among others:

In many cases, these injuries require an additional surgery to remedy.  Other treatments for Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft injuries include intubation, tracheotomies, and the use of anti-inflammatory medications.

Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft Lawsuits

Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft lawyers are currently investigating  cases where victims have suffered injury or death as a result of off-label use of this product.  While doctors are permitted to use medical products off-label, it is illegal to market medical devices for off-label use.  It can be proven that Medtronic agents encouraged surgeons to use the Infuse Bone Graft off-label.  What’s more, Medtronic corroborates a Wall Street Journal report that they paid a surgeon $800,000 to falsify reports of positive results for off-label use of this product.
An experienced Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft lawyer can build a strong case on the grounds that Medtronic exhibited gross negligence in misleading doctors and patients about the safety of their product and in failing to warn of the potential side effects of Infuse.
