FAQs
How do I confirm if my implant was recalled?
Request your implant stickers and recall notice from your surgeon or hospital; we can also help check model and lot numbers.
Do I qualify without a revision yet?
Possibly—documented failure symptoms and medical opinions can support a claim. Call for a case review.
Can I recover future medical costs?
Yes, claims may include anticipated care and future revision needs supported by medical experts.
