Surgical Staplers

The Surgical Staplers Litigation Group assists members litigating against Medtronic/Covidien, Johnson & Johnson, and other surgical stapler manufacturers. The defective intra-operative staplers used during surgical procedures (primarily colorectal and bariatric surgeries) may improperly fire, causing patients to suffer tearing of internal tissue and organs, fistula formation, sepsis, and death. 

The Surgical Staplers Litigation Group was formed at the 2021 Âé¶¹´«Ã½Winter Convention. Members have access to the Surgical Staplers document library and list server. 

  • Meetings: Âé¶¹´«Ã½Annual and Winter conventions
  • Membership: The group is limited to Âé¶¹´«Ã½Regular, Life, Sustaining, and President’s Club members only.
  • Dues: The Litigation Group is complimentary for members of the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Section who can agree to the terms and conditions of membership in the Litigation Group's Affidavit. If you are not yet a member, you can join the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Section here.
