One product that caused serious harm to a patient in the "Bleeding Edge" documentary is the Essure birth control device. This device caused severe pain, perforation of the uterus and fallopian tubes, and migration of the device to other parts of the body.

Another product that caused serious harm to a patient in the documentary is the hip implant device manufactured by the company DePuy Orthopaedics. This implant caused metal poisoning, tissue damage, and severe pain for patients, leading to the need for revision surgeries.
