Defective Vaginal Mesh Devices

A vaginal mesh is a semi-permeable medical device implanted in women to reinforce the structures of the lower abdomen and keep their organs in place. The device vaginal mesh is usually positioned through the vagina, although it can also be put through an incision in the abdomen.

Introduced in 1990, the device corrected pelvic organ prolapse, a condition affecting senior women, characterized by weakening of the pelvic muscles which allow the pelvic organs like the bladder, uterus, and rectum to drop into the vagina.

 

Vaginal Mesh-Related Problems

Although the medical device should permanently correct pelvic organ prolapse, it also has several, well-known complications. Patients have been complaining about these problems:

The most severe problems result from mesh erosion that occurs when the rough edges of the device cut through nearby organs. In 2011, the FDA issued a public warning regarding these severe complications women are facing. The FDA also mentioned that the complications are not related to a single brand of mesh. Several companies are manufacturing vaginal meshes for the U.S. market, including Johnson & Johnson, C.R. Bard, Boston Scientific and American Medical Systems.

Vaginal meshes have been subjects of recall since 1999. Most recently in June 2012, Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson voluntarily recalled four of its vaginal meshes, including Prolift, Prolift+ M, TVT Secur and Prosima systems.

 

Ask for Medical and Legal Assistance

Women who have one of the recalled mesh types or who only notice any pain or discomfort are advised to contact their doctors soon to prevent further damages. They can also contact an experienced product liability lawyer to discuss their chances of filing a defective medical device lawsuit.
