Biomet

Biomet is an American medical device manufacturer that has created a number of hip replacement devices and systems.  While many of their products have been innovative and successful, like other manufacturers, Biomet has had problems with its metal-on-metal hip devices.

Patients that have received Biomet metal-on-metal hip implants have suffered from metallosis and the complications that arise with it.  Many individuals have suffered soft tissue and bone damage, and have had to undergo revision surgeries.

Problematic Biomet products include:

  • M2a Magnum hip implant line
  • Stanmore and Exceed ABT
