Their latest batch of victims, the Cervicore victims, were injured even more grievously than the hip implant victims and there was even more criminality involved. CerviCore is an artificial disk implant meant for implantation into the cervical spine. Not only is it a metal shedding Frankenstein design like the Stryker hip implants, the Cervicore disk never received FDA approval for use in patients. It gets worse, the Cervicore disk never even received FDA approval to be used in clinical trials or IDE (Investigational Device Exemption). The Cervicore disk is such a piece of shit that it could not even get and IDE from the FDA but that didn't stop Stryker's doctors from implanting them in the spine of patients.<br /><br />Currently the is a class action lawsuit being filed against Stryker Medical. <br /><br />file:///C:/Users/Chris/Downloads/File%20Stamped%20Copy%20of%20Complaint.pdf<br /><br />On Friday April 11, 2014 the law firm of Zoll, Kranz & Borgess, LLC filed a lawsuit behalf of a group of fourteen plaintiffs against Howmedica Osteonics Corp. (which does business as Stryker Spine) alleging Howmedica’s trial device called called CerviCore injured them.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.zkblaw.com/fourteen-plaintiffs-file-suit-against-stryker-howmedica-over-cervicore-implant" rel="nofollow">Stryker Howmedica Facing CerviCore Class Action Law Suit and Possible Jail Time</a> Fat Bastardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839915109115122588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-79520971281446758572013-06-01T01:11:56.925-07:002013-06-01T01:11:56.925-07:00hey this website is very informative specially the...hey this website is very informative specially the article make money online jobs and careers or job vacancies is very helpful for me, please guide me how to find management employment or post free job with out login through online like www.ijobscity.com, i m very thankful for this special considerationshaziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05849633709887341728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-72875422231920408052012-11-02T19:09:52.353-07:002012-11-02T19:09:52.353-07:00For Amedica any antimicrobial claim is certainly a...For Amedica any antimicrobial claim is certainly a "hail mary" as silicon nitiride merely "repels" planktonic staph eppi bacteria and does zero to actually kill any bugs already in a wound.
