BioZorb Lawsuits
Helping Patients Harmed by BioZorb Implants
BioZorb® is a medical device used during breast-cancer surgery. It is a small, coil-shaped marker that surgeons implant to help guide radiation therapy and track healing. While it was marketed as safe and effective, growing reports show that BioZorb has caused serious complications for many patients.
If you or a loved one suffered complications after a BioZorb implant, you may have the right to file a lawsuit and seek compensation. Our firm is investigating BioZorb cases and helping patients hold the manufacturer accountable.
Reported Complications Linked to BioZorb
Patients have reported unexpected and painful complications after BioZorb implantation, including:
Severe pain and inflammation at the implant site
Infection requiring medical intervention
Migration or movement of the device inside the body
Skin erosion and visibility of the implant through the breast tissue
Need for revision surgery or complete removal of the device
Emotional and cosmetic harm, including scarring or disfigurement
The BioZorb Recall
In 2023, the manufacturer of BioZorb issued a recall of all unused BioZorb devices after widespread reports of serious patient complications. The recall was intended to remove the product from the market and prevent further harm, but thousands of patients had already received BioZorb implants in prior years.
The recall highlighted concerns that:
The risks of BioZorb were greater than originally disclosed to doctors and patients.
Patients with existing implants may still face complications even after the device has been discontinued.
The manufacturer may not have adequately tested or warned about long-term risks before marketing the product.
Because BioZorb was recalled, patients who experienced complications now have stronger grounds to pursue legal action for the harm they suffered.
Why File a BioZorb Lawsuit?
Filing a claim against the manufacturer can help:
Recover medical costs for additional treatment, corrective surgery, and follow-up care
Seek damages for pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Hold the manufacturer accountable for releasing a defective medical device
Protect other patients by raising awareness and ensuring stricter safety standards in the future
Who May Qualify?
You may qualify for a BioZorb lawsuit if you:
Had a BioZorb implant placed during breast-cancer surgery, and
Experienced complications such as infection, pain, skin erosion, device migration, or required revision surgery.
Even if the device has already been removed, you may still have a valid claim.
