About 1 000 South American women plan to sue French firm PIP over the potentially faulty breast implants the company supplied to about 300 000 women across the world, their lawyer said last week.
Medtronic was awarded $101.2 million in a patent infringement lawsuit when a San Diego jury found that NuVasive's CoRoent XL spine implants, MaXcess II and III tissue retractors, and Helix and Helix mini anterior cervical plates had infringed on three Medtronic patents owned by Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc., a Medtronic unit.
