Transvaginal Mesh
Pelvic Mesh Attorney In New York And New Jersey
Transvaginal mesh products, also known as vaginal mesh and pelvic mesh, have has been on the market for decades and have been implanted into hundreds of thousands of women. Transvaginal mesh, which is surgically implanted to repair conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), is used to support weakened vaginal wall, urethra or bladder neck in repair procedures. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced in April 2019 that it could not guarantee the long-term safety or efficacy of any vaginal mesh products and ordered the remaining manufacturers to present a plan to pull the product off of the market after the companies failed to provide evidence to address safety concerns.
Pelvic mesh has been linked for years to devastating lifelong injuries and even death due to complications. More than 100,000 women have sued over transvaginal mesh devices because of symptoms such as persistent vaginal bleeding and discharge, chronic pelvic pain, and pain during sex.
