Millions Recovered For Victims Of Defective Medical Devices
Transvaginal mesh is a synthetic device used to support a weak or damaged vaginal wall. Doctors implant transvaginal mesh (TVM) devices to fix stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP), which typically affect women after surgery, menopause, or childbirth.
TVM Problems
The FDA did not require TVM devices to be tested in humans before they were approved for sale. Due to this incredible failure, many mesh devices have been found to be dangerous, ineffective, and unreliable.
A defective TVM can erode through the vaginal wall or other organs, causing severe and life-threatening complications. TVM problems can make even basic activities painful, like sitting or sexual intercourse, and stop them from living their lives to the fullest.
In 2008, the FDA issued an urgent public health warning to physicians and patients regarding possible complications from TVM. The agency received so many complaints that it reclassified TVM as “high-risk devices.”
Complications of TVM include:
- Erosion of the outer vaginal lining
- Infection
- Device failure
- Internal bleeding and extreme pain
- Organ perforation
- POP and SUI recurrence
- Forced surgeries
- Nerve and muscle damage
This is an important threat to women – experts predict that 20% of women will undergo surgery for POP or SUI at some point in their lifetime.
