Pain Management Pump

Pain Pumps are typically used by patients who have undergone arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The pumps are used to assist in recovery and help to manage pain by releasing controlled amounts of local anesthetics to the surgical site. Pain pumps are manufactured and distributed by several companies including Stryker, Smith & Nephew, Inc., DePuy, Inc, DJO Inc., BREG Inc., and I-Flow Inc.

Cartilage Damage

Pain Pump use has been linked to a painful condition known as PAGCL (Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis). PAGCL occurs when the shoulder cartilage begins to deteriorate, which promotes permanent pain and loss of mobility. Some of the worst cases have resulted in the complete removal of the shoulder joint and installation of a prosthetic shoulder.

Pain Pump Complications

Pain Pump use can cause cartilage deterioration and destruction by releasing too much medicine. These injuries can leave patients incapacitated, and in need of long term care. Symptoms include grinding, clicking and popping of the shoulder, stiffness or weakness, and decreased range of motion and use of the shoulder.

Pain Pump Lawsuit Consolidation – Class Action

The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has denied a petition to consolidate all of the federal lawsuits. There are over 27 different corporations and providers named as defendants across the country.

Pain Pump Lawsuit

Hundreds of people across the country have been affected. Lawsuits are pending against the companies that manufacture, market or distribute the pain pumps. Plaintiffs are claiming that the manufacturers failed to warn or instruct the medical community about the safety of using the pumps, or that they may cause permanent injury.
