Surgical Solution GYNECARE INTERGEL Linked to Serious Side Effects

Kahn Gauthier Swick is investigating any possible OBGYN lawsuit against Ethicon Inc. on behalf of women who were harmed by the use of GYNECARE INTERGEL Adhesion Prevention Solution in the course of OBGYN gynecological or other surgery. GYNECARE INTERGEL is a thick liquid (gel) made of sodium hyaluronate and iron. Gynecare Intergel is used during OBGYN gynecological surgery to separate and protect tissues as they heal, preventing adhesions. Gynecare Intergel was voluntarily recalled on April 16 due to adverse reaction reports.

GYNECARE INTERGEL is intended to be used in open, conservative gynecological surgery as an adjunct to good surgical technique to reduce post-surgical adhesions. Some of the reported adverse events occurred with off-label use of Gynecare Intergel in laparoscopy and non-conservative surgical procedures such as hysterectomy.

GYNECARE INTERGEL was approved for use in the United States on November 16, 2001. Gynecare Intergel was made by GYNECARE Worldwide, a division of Ethicon Inc., which is itself owned by Johnson & Johnson. GYNECARE's Customer Hotline is (800) 551-7683.
