What Is the BioZorb Lawsuit About?
The BioZorb Marker is a surgical device used in breast cancer treatment to mark the site of tumor removal. It’s designed to aid in radiation targeting and post-surgical imaging while gradually being absorbed by the body over time.
However, many patients have filed BioZorb lawsuits claiming their implant failed to resorb as intended, causing serious complications like device migration and erosion — which is when the device breaks through the skin.
Since 2015, nearly 400 complaints have been filed by patients and their health care providers, ultimately resulting in a recall of the BioZorb Marker.
Affected patients may be able to file a BioZorb lawsuit against Hologic® Inc., the manufacturer of this device, for not adequately warning them about potential risks.
At Sokolove Law, we have over 45 years of experience seeking justice for patients harmed by dangerous medical devices and medications. Let us fight for the compensation you deserve.

About the BioZorb Recall 2024
In October 2024, Hologic issued a voluntary recall for all unused BioZorb Marker and BioZorb LP Marker devices, requesting these devices be returned.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified this recall as a Class 1 recall, the most serious type. This classification means that the device may pose a significant risk of serious injury or death.
The FDA has advised that patients who currently have a BioZorb implant don’t need to have it removed if they’re not experiencing complications.
Patients and health care providers should continue to monitor for any potential issues linked to BioZorb devices and report their concerns to Hologic or the FDA immediately.
Complications Linked to BioZorb Markers
BioZorb markers are designed to help breast cancer patients who have undergone surgery to remove a tumor. However, when these devices don’t resorb as intended, they may cause serious health issues.
BioZorb complications and adverse events reported by patients include:
- Discomfort or sensitivity around the device
- Devices breaking through the skin (device erosion)
- Devices moving from their intended position (device migration)
- Fluid buildup (seroma)
- Infections
- Pain
- Rash or skin irritation
- Sensations of the device being present in the breast
Some patients have received additional treatment as a result of these complications, including undergoing surgery to remove their BioZorb Markers.
A BioZorb lawsuit settlement can help patients pay for medical bills, lost wages due to missed work, and more.
