Vaginal Mesh Attorneys Alert Patients to FDA’s Order for Safety Studies on Mesh Products

The vaginal mesh attorneys at Morgan and Morgan are informing the public of reports that the FDA has ordered C.R. Bard, Johnson and Johnson and 31 other manufacturers of transvaginal mesh implants to conduct three years of safety and effectiveness trials on these products. The agency sent letters to the manufacturers asking them to study the rate of infection, painful sex and other vaginal mesh complications linked to the implants. The vaginal mesh attorneys at the firm support this action by the FDA, and are currently available to review claims from any woman implanted with a transvaginal mesh product in the repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI) to determine if they have legal recourse.

After noting an increase in the number of reports of vaginal mesh complications, the FDA announced in July 2011 that the transvaginal placement of surgical mesh to treat pelvic organ prolapse can put patients at a greater risk that other surgical options. Furthermore, the agency informed the public that transvaginal mesh complications associated with the surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse are not rare. Along with the update on vaginal mesh complications, the agency announced that an advisory panel would meet in September to further discuss the safety and effectiveness of these products. During the meeting, the panel recommended that the agency reclassify surgical mesh products used for the transvaginal repair of POP as “high-risk.” 

Amid growing concerns of complications linked to the transvaginal implants, the vaginal mesh lawyers at Morgan and Morgan would like to hear from anyone who has undergone surgery using one of these products. Potentially, women who suffered from vaginal mesh problems may have legal recourse to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other damages.
