As more disturbing evidence emerges about the tainted tissue firestorm that has sent shockwaves through the medical community, an increasing number of victims are being notified that they received some of the questionable tissue. From spinal surgeries to dental implants, thousands of patients are facing the disturbing reality that they were given tissue that had not been tested for contaminates.
Spinal surgery is one of the procedures that patients who received the Biomedical Tissue Service tissue were undergoing. This surgery can involve a number of procedures, including removing cervical discs and performing bone grafts. Some patients are discovering that bones and other tissue from the untested supply were implanted into their bodies during surgery.
Skin grafts are other surgeries that utilized tainted tissues. Patients are receiving notification that some of the skin used in their grafting procedure came from the Biomedical Tissue Service supply that was extracted from cadavers without permission from family members and without proper screening protocols. Countless facial reconstruction patients have also been put at risk.
Dental surgery and implants patients were also exposed to the questionable tissue. Often even routine dental procedures use tissues from other human donors, and many dental patients are now being informed of their potential risk. Other surgeries that used the questionable tissue include bone grafts and organ replacements.
This gruesome discovery is having widespread repercussions as patients all over the country – and even in foreign markets such as Canada where some of the tissue was sold – are facing potentially devastating diseases that could have been transmitted in the possibly contaminated Biomedical Tissue Service tissue. If you are a victim of this grisly crime, make sure to contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible so that you can secure the compensation that you deserve.
