BioZorb Lawsuit News:
New Scheduling Orders & Bellwether Preparation

Hundreds of women who suffered complications from BioZorb implants are now pursuing claims against Hologic. Bellwether cases are already moving under coordinated scheduling orders — MDL formation is expected. Our firm is accepting cases nationwide.

BioZorb — a 3D surgical marker implanted after breast-conserving surgery — was marketed as a safe, absorbable device to guide radiation therapy. Instead, thousands of women reported severe complications including chronic pain, infection, disfigurement, device migration, and the need for additional surgeries. Evidence has emerged that the device failed to absorb as promised and caused long-term harm that patients were never warned about.

How BioZorb Failed Patients

Plaintiffs allege that Hologic’s BioZorb marker was defectively designed and that the company failed to adequately warn surgeons and patients of known risks. Reports of device failure have included some of the most serious complications possible from a surgical implant.

Failed to Absorb

Despite being marketed as fully absorbable, the device persisted in patients’ bodies, causing ongoing inflammation, fibrosis, and chronic pain.

Device Migration

Reports of the BioZorb marker shifting position within the breast, complicating radiation delivery and causing additional injury.

Extrusion & Skin Erosion

In severe cases, the device extruded through the skin, requiring emergency surgical intervention and leaving permanent scarring.

Disfigurement & Nerve Damage

Patients suffered permanent cosmetic deformity and nerve damage — injuries they were not warned about before surgery.

Radiation Complications

Device failure interfered with radiation therapy guidance — the device’s core purpose — potentially compromising cancer treatment outcomes.

Inadequate Warning

Plaintiffs allege Hologic knew of these risks and failed to disclose them to surgeons or patients before implantation.
