What Happens In These Cases?

Surgical staples are used in many routine surgeries. However, we know that medical mistakes are the third leading cause of death in the United States. Many of those mistakes happen in surgery. When we investigate these cases, we often find that the problems arise with:

• Careless, negligent, or undertrained medical professionals
• Inadequate follow-up care after a procedure
• Faulty staples or staplers from a company or manufacturer

There have been many surgical staple products recalls over the last decade, with major companies Ethicon, Covidien, and U.S. Surgical involved. The US Food and Drug Administration is responsible for approving and regulating surgical staples and staple devices.

Surgical staples are labeled as Class I devices, the least regulated of all medical devices. Because of this labeling, staple complications are not part of mandatory reporting for device malfunctions and injuries. Non-fatal staple complication reports are sent to the FDA’s Alternative Summary Reporting Program, often called the “hidden database.”
