Vaginal Mesh Litigation

Transvaginal meshes are surgical meshes that are inserted through an incision in the vaginal wall, and are designed to counteract pelvic organ prolapse (POP), a condition in which the organs slide forward and downward. POP is a result of weakened tissues in the pelvis, and transvaginal mesh is used to strengthen the vaginal walls, thereby supporting the internal organs. Unfortunately, there is a risk of complications with these products, and transvaginal side effects can be painful and permanent, severely affecting the victim’s quality of life.

Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit Information

Manufacturers of transvaginal meshes have been named as defendants in a number of transvaginal mesh lawsuits as of late. Many of these complaints allege that insufficient clinical trials were conducted prior to the products’ releases and that patients were insufficiently warned of potential side effects. Manufacturers of these products include:

• Bard
• Gynecare
• Johnson & Johnson
• AMS
• Others

With the FDA transvaginal mesh warning in July 2011 confirming the dangers of transvaginal meshes, and the thousands of complaints they have received in only a few years, it is possible that more vaginal mesh litigation is forthcoming.
