About the Filshie Clips Lawsuit 2023-2024
Filshie Clips are silicone and titanium clips used to prevent pregnancies by cutting off blood flow to the fallopian tubes. However, multiple patients were injured after Filshie Clips detached and migrated to different parts of their bodies.
Femcare and CooperSurgical, the manufacturers of Filshie Clips, originally reported a 0.13% migration rate to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when the device was first approved in 1996 — yet the real risk may be nearly 200x higher.
An estimated 25% of Filshie Clips migrate, potentially putting thousands of women at risk of complications.
Filshie Clip lawsuits claim the device’s manufacturers failed to:
- Address safety issues after reports of injuries
- Notify the FDA of adverse events
- Warn patients of the risks associated with the devices
For over 40 years, Sokolove Law has fought to even the playing field between powerful medical companies and those hurt by their dangerous products.
Our Filshie Clips lawyers have the resources and experience necessary to stand up to the company responsible for your injuries and seek justice on your behalf.

Filshie Clip Migration Symptoms
When a Filshie Clip migrates, many women remain asymptomatic. However, the device may travel and embed in other organs, potentially causing symptoms to appear for some.
“Although most women are asymptomatic, clip migration can result in serious morbidity such as abscess formation and be a source of sepsis years later.”
– American Journal of Case Reports
In rare cases, women may experience complications, including:
- Abscesses
- Chronic abdominal or pelvic pain
- Fistulas
- Hernias
- Sepsis
- Tissue perforation
- Ulcers
Some patients with Filshie Clips that have migrated underwent surgery to remove the clips and address their symptoms.
If a Filshie Clip migrates, it may also fail to prevent pregnancy. Despite using the Filshie Clip birth control device, some women have reported still getting pregnant.
If you were injured by a Filshie Clip, you should not be further burdened by medical bills and other expenses. By filing a Filshie Clip lawsuit, you may be able to hold the manufacturers accountable and secure compensation.

How much does a Filshie Clip lawyer cost?
At Sokolove Law, there are no upfront costs or hourly fees to get help from our Filshie Clip lawyers.
We work on a contingency-fee basis, which means we only get paid if we successfully secure compensation for you.
How do Filshie Clips fail?
When Filshie Clips are attached to fallopian tubes, they cut off the blood supply to this area of the body. Once the two ends of the tube separate, the clip may fall off.
If the clip falls off prematurely, patients may still be able to get pregnant and be put at risk of suffering more serious injuries from the device migrating.
Can Filshie Clips unclip and migrate?
While many remain asymptomatic, Filshie Clip migration is estimated to occur in 25% of patients, according to the Case Reports of Surgery journal.
If you suffered injuries from a migrating Filshie Clip, you may be eligible for compensation from a Filshie Clip migration lawsuit.
Contact our team now to see if you may qualify.
Can you get Filshie Clips removed?
Yes. Patients have undergone surgery to remove Filshie Clips that have migrated through the body and relieve their symptoms. However, safe removal is not always possible, depending on where the device has migrated.
Clips still attached to the fallopian tubes may also be removed, though the success of a tubal ligation reversal procedure is not guaranteed.
Do they still use Filshie Clips?
Yes. Filshie Clips are still used in many tubal ligation procedures as of March 2024. They are also still approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
