Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating possible defects with the Abbott Spinal Cord Stimulator.

What is the Abbott Spinal Cord Stimulator?

Abbott produces an array of medical devices. Among them is their spinal cord stimulator. These devices are surgically implanted and are designed to intercept pain signals before they reach the brain. Many chose them as a method of pain management, and have felt duped by unexpected issues arising.

What is the issue?

Patients who use the Abbott Eterna and Abbott Genesis systems for chronic pain relief are reporting problems with the device. Specifically, due to a defect in the product that can cause lead migration and battery failures, people are experiencing painful electrical shocks or worsening pain. Some also report the product failing prematurely. Since these are surgically implanted, they can require invasive surgery to resolve these issues.

Many report that they would not have chosen this method of pain management had they known about this risk, and they feel that Abbott did not adequately warn them.

Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating if Abbott Laboratories failed to sufficiently warn medical providers and patients about the risk of this issue.
