What Is the BioZorb Lawsuit About?

BioZorb Markers were introduced as an innovative solution in breast cancer treatment, designed to assist with radiation targeting and post-surgical imaging. Manufactured by Hologic Inc., the device was supposed to dissolve over time, leaving behind small titanium clips to help locate the site of a removed tumor.

However, hundreds of patients have reported that their BioZorb implant did not resorb as intended, leading to severe complications, including device migration and even breaking through the skin. Since 2015, nearly 400 complaints have been filed.

In October 2024, Hologic voluntarily recalled all unused BioZorb Marker and BioZorb LP Marker devices. The FDA followed suit, classifying the recall as Class 1, the highest level of safety concern, due to the risks discussed below.

The FDA advises that patients who already have a BioZorb implant should monitor for complications and consult a healthcare provider if issues arise. If you’ve suffered complications, you may have a legal claim against Hologic for failing to warn patients adequately about the risks.

Complications Linked to BioZorb Markers

Patients implanted with BioZorb Markers have reported a range of serious side effects, including:

Device erosion (implant breaking through the skin)
Device migration (moving out of position)
Chronic pain and discomfort
Seromas (fluid buildup around the implant)
Infections requiring medical intervention
Skin irritation, rash, or inflammation
Disfigurement or asymmetry
Limited range of motion due to the implant
Surgical removal of the device

For many, the failure of the BioZorb device to dissolve as intended has led to unnecessary suffering, additional surgeries, and lasting trauma.

Who Can File a BioZorb Lawsuit?

You may qualify for a BioZorb lawsuit if:

You received a BioZorb Marker or BioZorb LP Marker implant
You experienced device migration, erosion, infection, or other complications
You needed additional medical treatment or surgery as a result of these issues

If the BioZorb device caused scarring, breast asymmetry, loss of mobility, or long-term damage, you may be eligible for additional compensation.

Punitive Damages

In cases where Hologic Inc. is found to have acted with negligence or failed to properly warn patients about risks, the court may award punitive damages to hold the manufacturer accountable.

FAQs

How do I know if my BioZorb implant is causing complications?

Signs of complications from a BioZorb implant can include chronic pain, swelling, redness, skin irritation, or a noticeable lump where the device was implanted. Some patients have reported feeling the device moving or protruding through the skin. If you experience any unusual symptoms, consult a healthcare provider immediately.

Can BioZorb complications occur years after implantation?

Yes. Some patients have reported issues arising months or even years after their surgery, particularly if the implant fails to dissolve as expected.

Are BioZorb lawsuits being filed in a specific state?

No. BioZorb lawsuits are being filed nationwide, and your location does not limit your eligibility. Heninger Garrison Davis represents clients across all 50 states and can help you determine the best jurisdiction for your case.

What evidence is needed to file a BioZorb lawsuit?

To build a strong case, you will need:

Medical records confirming the implantation of a BioZorb Marker
Doctor’s notes or imaging scans showing complications such as migration or erosion
Records of additional treatments or surgeries needed to address BioZorb-related issues
Personal documentation of pain, discomfort, or quality-of-life changes caused by the device

Can BioZorb implants interfere with mammograms or other imaging?

Yes. Some patients have reported that BioZorb implants create distortions in mammograms, ultrasounds, or MRIs, making it harder to detect new abnormalities or cancer recurrence. Additionally, the presence of the implant can lead to increased discomfort during imaging procedures, as some patients report pain when the breast is compressed.

What legal claims are being made in BioZorb lawsuits?

BioZorb lawsuits generally include claims for:

Defective design: The implant was inherently flawed, leading to severe complications.
Failure to warn: Hologic allegedly did not provide adequate warnings about risks.
Negligence: The manufacturer may have failed to test the device's long-term safety properly.
Breach of warranty: Patients were misled into believing the implant would safely dissolve over time.
