Faulty Medical Device Lawsuit Loans
Faulty medical device lawsuit loans are for patients who have a lawyer plus a filed case or pending deal.
Get $500 to $250,000+ while you wait. Because it’s non-recourse, a loss leaves you owing us nothing.
Apply online or call. We take care of the rest with your lawyer.
Do I qualify?
Yes, as long as your device case is filed or settling.
- A lawyer represents you, and a firm working in the device’s MDL (similar federal cases grouped before one judge) counts.
- Your lawsuit is filed, or a settlement agreement is in progress. The case must be against the device maker, and the maker must be able to pay.
- A device or implant injured you, often needing surgery to fix or remove it.
- We fund in 41 states, as our state guide shows. The state of your original filing decides, even if the case later moves to an MDL.
People call it a lawsuit loan. It’s a non-recourse advance, not a loan: if you lose, you owe nothing.
You need to be 18 or older and a U.S. resident. Credit scores, income and past bankruptcies don’t factor in.
How it works

4. Get the money
Funds go to you. If the case drags on, you can ask for another advance later.
A Faulty Device Case Is a Product Case, Not Malpractice
A device claim targets the company that made and sold the device, under product liability law. Think of makers like C.R. Bard or Boston Scientific. It isn’t a claim against your doctor.
If a doctor or hospital was at fault, that’s malpractice, and our sister brand, ECO Pre-Settlement Funding, handles those cases.
Thousands of plaintiffs, one judge
When one device hurts many people, federal cases are pooled before a single MDL judge. Test trials come first. A deal can take years, and many pay out in tiers.
Why so many devices end up in court
Many devices reach the market through a fast FDA path. A maker can skip full safety tests by showing the device is like an older one. That shortcut is a big reason flawed devices slip through.
What we need to see
We ask for the make and model of the device and when it went in. We need proof of harm, like a break, a shift in the body or a failed removal. Scans and the surgery report count most.
What can shrink an advance
Health plan and Medicare liens (money that must be paid back from the settlement first) cut your share. A claim filed too late may not qualify. Federal law also blocks many suits over devices that passed the FDA’s strictest approval.
A smaller net for you means a smaller advance.
Why funding helps
The long wait is when people feel pushed to drop out or take a low offer. Faulty medical device lawsuit loans let you stay in while your lawyer pushes for full value. Most people use the money for surgery, care, rent and bills.

Defective Devices We Fund
IVC Filters
For clot filters that broke, moved or poked through a vein. Cook cases are still open.
Hernia Mesh
For mesh that wore away, stuck to organs or caused infection. Many patients need more surgery.
Essure
For the birth control coil linked to holes, shifting and pain. Few claims are left.
Hip & Knee Implants
For metal hips and knees that came loose, shed metal or failed early. Most need a second surgery.
Surgical & Pelvic Mesh

Other Implants & Devices
For pacemaker leads, CPAP machines, insulin pumps and other devices that failed or were recalled.
Essure, Mirena, IVC and Mesh Cases: Where They Stand
Four device cases that once had their own pages now live here. Some are over and one is still large. We’d rather say which is which than take an application we can’t fund.
Essure: Settled in 2020, Little Left
Last checked September 2026.
Essure was a birth control coil linked to shifting, holes in organs, pain and removal surgery. The FDA says Bayer stopped U.S. sales on December 31, 2018. Unused units had to go back by the end of 2019.
There was never a federal MDL. Cases ran mainly in a grouped California case and in federal court in Pennsylvania.
In August 2020, Bayer said it would pay about $1.6 billion to settle about 90% of nearly 39,000 claims. It admitted no fault, and the deal was with the law firms that held those claims, not an open fund.
Who can still get funding: a woman whose lawyer has a filed Essure case outside the 2020 deal. New claims face deadline problems and federal rules that shield approved devices. If you were paid in the deal, there’s nothing left to fund.
Mirena IUD: Both Federal Cases Ended in Bayer’s Favor
Last checked September 2026.
Two sets of Mirena cases were grouped in federal court in Manhattan. The first said the IUD poked through the uterus or moved after it was placed. The judge barred the plaintiffs’ experts and ruled for Bayer, and the appeals court agreed in October 2017.
The second said Mirena’s hormone caused a dangerous buildup of pressure around the brain, called pseudotumor cerebri. Those experts were barred too, and Bayer won in 2019 and again on appeal. Both MDLs are closed, and no deal program is open.
Who can get funding: almost no one, and you should hear that plainly. If your lawyer has a Mirena suit that survived on other facts, we’ll review it. Otherwise, a funder promising money on a Mirena claim in 2026 deserves hard questions.
IVC Filters: Bard Is Finished, Cook Is Not
Last checked September 2026.
IVC filters are small cages placed in the body’s largest vein to catch clots. Lawsuits say some broke, tilted, moved or poked through the vein. Many couldn’t be removed.
The C.R. Bard MDL in Arizona grew past 8,000 cases and held three test trials. It closed to new filings on May 31, 2019, and ended with a final order in April 2021. Thousands settled in private, and the rest went back to their home courts.
Cook Medical is the live one. Its MDL in southern Indiana had 6,501 cases pending of 11,478 filed on September 1, 2026. There’s no global deal.
Cordis cases are grouped in a California state court. Boston Scientific Greenfield claims go one by one.
Who can get funding: Cook plaintiffs with a filed case and a proven break, shift, hole or failed removal. Bard and Cordis plaintiffs with a pending case, or one sent back to its home court, can apply too.
Pelvic Mesh: The MDLs Are Closed, Single Suits Go On
Last checked September 2026.
Pelvic mesh was the largest device litigation in U.S. history. Seven MDLs in southern West Virginia held over 100,000 cases, and the court lists all seven as closed. The makers sued were Ethicon, Boston Scientific, C.R. Bard, American Medical Systems, Coloplast, Cook and Neomedic.
Deals and verdicts are widely reported at about $8 billion, though no official source adds them up. In April 2019, the FDA ordered makers to stop selling mesh for vaginal repair of pelvic organ prolapse. Slings for bladder leaks weren’t part of that order and are still used.
Who can get funding: the deal programs are closed, so there’s no fund to claim from. Women with new problems or a recent revision still file single suits where state deadlines allow. New Jersey’s grouped mesh cases are one example.
If your lawyer has filed one in a state we fund, we can review it.
For device cases still open to new claims, like hernia mesh, see the cards above. Device cases belong to our mass tort lawsuit loans group, and every type is listed under cases we fund.
Questions About Faulty Medical Device Lawsuit Loans
Does a faulty medical device lawsuit loan work like a bank loan?
No. You repay it only out of what the case wins, never from your own pocket. Nothing is billed monthly, and losing leaves you with no debt.
Is a device case just a malpractice case?
Not usually. If the device itself was flawed, the claim is against its maker and often joins an MDL. If your doctor or hospital made a mistake, like implanting the wrong device, that’s malpractice, which follows a different path.
My case is part of an MDL or class action. Can you still fund it?
Yes. MDL cases are among those we fund most, and class members can apply if their own claim is large. We review your own claim with your lawyer, including your injury and where your case sits.
Can I apply without a lawyer?
No. A lawyer must be handling your device claim, usually for a share of the win. We work with their office on the review and the paperwork.
How large an advance can a device case support, and for how long?
We advance between $500 and $250,000+, sized to your claim’s likely net and its stage. Severe cases with revision surgery can support more. Device MDLs can run several years, so many people start small and add more later.
