BioZorb® Implant Lawsuits: Patients Report Severe Complications After Breast Cancer Surgery

Originally introduced to help with radiation targeting and tissue marking after breast cancer surgery, the BioZorb® Marker has now come under fire for causing serious health complications in patients. If you or a loved one received a BioZorb implant and suffered adverse effects, you may be entitled to compensation through a lawsuit against the device’s manufacturer.

‍

What Is the BioZorb Device and Why Are Patients Filing Lawsuits?

The BioZorb Marker, manufactured by Hologic, Inc., was marketed as an innovative implantable device designed to assist doctors in radiation therapy and surgical site identification following breast cancer surgery. However, many patients are reporting unexpected complications, including:

• Severe, chronic pain
• Foreign body reactions and inflammation
• Recurrent infections
• Device migration
• Failed absorption
• The need for additional revision surgeries

Lawsuits claim that Hologic failed to properly warn both medical professionals and patients about these risks—resulting in unnecessary pain, additional surgeries, and long-term complications. Legal action is now being taken across the country as injured patients seek justice.

FDA & Legal Updates: BioZorb Under Fire

• October 24, 2024 – Hologic announced a voluntary recall of unimplanted BioZorb devices amid mounting safety concerns.
• October 25, 2024 – The FDA issued a formal warning, advising against BioZorb use.
• December 18, 2024 – The FDA escalated the recall to a Class I—the most serious type—indicating a risk of severe injury or death.
• February 21, 2025 – The first bellwether trial in the BioZorb litigation was scheduled for September 8, 2025, signaling the seriousness of the case.

Courts have allowed multiple lawsuits to proceed, denying several motions by Hologic to dismiss these cases. This indicates strong legal grounds for patients harmed by this product.

Victims implanted with the BioZorb Marker have reported:

• Debilitating pain at the implant site
