Avaulta Mesh Complications Include Mesh Erosion and Other Serious Side Effects, Warns Class Action.org

Class Action.org is alerting women who have been implanted with the Avaulta vaginal mesh to the serious complications of surgical mesh systems. Manufactured by C.R. Bard, Avaulta surgical mesh systems, which include the Avaulta Solo, Avaulta Plus and Avaulta Biosynthetic, have been linked to a number of side effects including mesh erosion, deformation of vaginal tissues and scarring. These Avaulta complications can cause persistent pain, infection and the need for multiple surgeries to remove the mesh system.  

If you have experienced Avaulta mesh complications, visit http://www.classaction.org/avaulta-transvaginal-mesh.html and complete the Free Case Evaluation form. You may be able to participate in a vaginal mesh lawsuit to recover compensation for damages, which may include pain and suffering and medical expenses associated with the treatment of your Avaulta vaginal mesh complications. Several Avaulta mesh lawsuits have already been filed alleging that the design of the surgical mesh was defective and that C.R. Bard failed to warn doctors and patients of the Avaulta vaginal mesh complications. 

The problems with the Avaulta vaginal sling first came to the public’s attention when the FDA released a warning in October 2008 about the complications of surgical mesh systems. The FDA received, within a three-year time span, more than 1000 reports of surgical mesh complications from nine manufacturers, including C.R. Bard. Women who were implanted with the Avaulta mesh, which is used to treat pelvic organ prolapse, complained of the following surgical mesh side effects: infection; pain during sex; mesh erosions and extrusions; permanent nerve damage; inflammation; pelvic pain; rectal or vaginal problems; and scarring and deformation of vaginal tissues.
