Netflix Documentary ‘The Bleeding Edge’ Exposes Dangerous Medical Devices

Netflix Documentary ‘The Bleeding Edge’ Exposes Dangerous Medical Devices

From birth-control devices to hip implants, the majority of medical devices hit the market without proper testing. Sometimes these untested devices, meant to improve lives, ruin them instead. Pharmaceutical and medical device companies make Billions. Patients often pay with their health.

These are the horrors exposed in the terrifying new documentary “The Bleeding Edge.” The film, which releases July 27 on Netflix, examines the pitfalls of a $400 Billion medical device industry responsible for products that have wreaked havoc on the lives of thousands.

The documentary specifically highlights issues associated with five defective medical device products that caused damage to the public, such as hip implants and vaginal mesh. One of these devices, the controversial Essure® birth control, was recently discontinued by pharmaceutical giant Bayer.

GET THE HELP YOU DESERVE

Our experienced team of professionals at Cory Watson Attorneys has been accepting Essure cases for more than three years. We have seen first-hand the damage caused by dangerous medical devices such as Essure birth control and other dangerous drugs.

If you’re considering taking legal action against “big pharma” and the medical device companies that have harmed you, we strongly encourage you to watch this documentary and be informed of the dangers. Cory Watson Attorneys is here to help you and your loved ones through this process.

You Deserve the Best, Never Settle for Less.

WHAT IS ESSURE BIRTH CONTROL?

Essure is a surgical implant device used as a permanent form of birth control. The device consists of two metal coils inserted into the fallopian tubes. Essure prevents pregnancy as the coils provoke an inflammatory response and scar tissue grows around the devices. It is meant as a form of permanent birth control for women and takes several months to become effective.

According to the FDA, more than 10,000 injuries have been reported and 16,000 lawsuits filed since the product was approved in 2002. The procedure is not reversible, and in many cases, Essure’s placement leads to serious pain, injury, and infection.

WHERE YOU INJURED BY THE ESSURE BIRTH CONTROL DEVICE?

It’s not every day that women have the opportunity to stand up to the pharmaceutical companies that hurt them — however, the time to take part in an Essure birth control lawsuit is limited.

We encourage you to contact us today to learn more about your legal options. Fill out our free online consultation form, or call now at (877) 562-0000. Don’t wait to reach out – your health is on the line.
