Do You Qualify for a BioZorb Lawsuit?
To be eligible for a BioZorb medical device lawsuit, you must meet certain conditions related to your cancer treatment and complications. Here’s what our BioZorb lawyers look for:
- Breast Cancer Diagnosis: You must have been diagnosed with breast cancer and undergone treatment that included a lumpectomy.
- BioZorb Implant Placement: During your lumpectomy, you were implanted with a BioZorb radiological marker. This is different from a simple biopsy marker—BioZorb is a device used during or after cancer removal surgery to help guide radiation therapy and improve cosmetic outcomes.
- Device Complications: The BioZorb marker failed to absorb as expected, leading to pain, hard tissue around the implant site, infection, or other symptoms.
- Surgical Removal or Long-Term Issues: You either had surgery to remove the BioZorb device or have had the implant in place for more than two years and are still experiencing problems related to absorption failure.
Even if you’re unsure whether BioZorb was used, confirmation of a lumpectomy is a strong indicator. Our legal team can help obtain your medical records and confirm whether the device was implanted.
What Are the Signs of a BioZorb Implant Problem?
BioZorb complications can develop gradually after surgery and may be misattributed to normal healing. However, if the implant doesn’t absorb as it should, it can lead to serious and painful health issues. Watch for:
- Persistent Pain: Ongoing discomfort, aching, or sharp pain at the surgical site that doesn’t improve with time.
- Hard Mass or Swelling: Some women report feeling a lump or firm area where the device was placed, even years after surgery.
- Infection or Inflammation: Redness, warmth, and swelling at the site may indicate infection or rejection of the device.
- Changes in Breast Shape or Appearance: Because BioZorb was intended to support tissue healing and cosmetic outcomes, failure to absorb may result in irregularities or disfigurement.
- Surgical Revision or Removal: Many patients ultimately require another procedure to remove the device or address related complications.
If you’ve experienced any of these symptoms and had a BioZorb device placed during your lumpectomy, you may have a case worth pursuing. The best way to find out is to contact our law firm as soon as possible for a free consultation.
Why Was BioZorb Recalled?
In October 2024, the FDA announced a voluntary recall of all unused BioZorb Markers due to reports of serious adverse events. Manufactured by Hologic Inc., BioZorb was initially promoted as a safe and effective tool to guide radiation therapy and improve breast contour after surgery. But real-world results told a different story.
Patients reported long-term pain, device migration, infection, and other complications requiring additional surgery. Despite being marketed as bioabsorbable, many BioZorb devices did not break down as intended—even after years. The recall is a critical warning, but it comes too late for the many women already living with the consequences.
What Compensation Could Be Available?
You may be entitled to significant compensation if your BioZorb implant caused you harm. A personal injury lawsuit may help you recover for:
- Medical Expenses: From the initial implant surgery to follow-up appointments, imaging, antibiotics, or revision surgery, these medical bills can quickly add up. A BioZorb lawsuit can pursue compensation for all related costs—past and future.
- Pain and Suffering: Chronic discomfort, infection, and visible breast disfigurement can have a lasting emotional and physical impact. This category includes both physical pain and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Lost Wages or Reduced Earning Capacity: Time away from work for additional procedures, recovery, or ongoing complications may affect your income or job security.
- Emotional Distress: Many survivors are forced to relive their trauma through unexpected complications. Anxiety, depression, and body image struggles are common—and compensable.
- Long-Term Care or Monitoring Needs: In some cases, complications may lead to permanent damage or require ongoing medical oversight.
Every case is different. Our BioZorb injury attorneys take time to understand your experience and tailor your claim to reflect the full impact on your life.
