A West Virginia woman and her husband are suing a surgeon and medical device manufacturer involved in her pelvic organ prolapse surgery.

In 2007, Betty Adkins had surgery performed by Dr. Mitchell E. Nutt at St. Mary’s Medical Center for her pelvic organ prolapse.  Dr. Nutt inserted an Avaulta Plus Anterior and Posterior BioSynthetic Support System produced by C.R. Bard in Adkins.  Since the surgery, Adkins complains she has suffered serious mental and physical pain including permanent and substantial physical deformity and loss of a bodily organ.

Adkins and her husband believe C.R. Bard practiced negligence in the design, manufacturing, marketing, labeling, and packaging and selling of the medical device.  Furthermore, they believe Nutt was negligent in his advocation and use of the product.
