Transvaginal Mesh Injury Lawyers in McKinney, Texas

Various news agencies have reported on recent lawsuits filed on behalf of women who have undergone the transvaginal mesh procedure. Women across the country have sued Boston scientific, and other companies who manufacture the Pinnacle Pelvic floor repair kit and other versions of transvaginal mesh.

Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Ethicon has also been sued in a similar case and experts believe this is only the tip of the iceberg. The transvaginal mesh device was originally invented to reinforce weakened vaginal walls and repair pelvic organ prolapse. The FDA is now saying that a number of complications have arisen including infection, bleeding, mesh erosion through the vagina and bowel, and organ perforation.

Because the procedure was designed to be permanent, doctors have had very little success at removing imbedded transvaginal mesh. In many of the current lawsuits, victims are saying that the device is defective and that the companies who manufactured the product failed to warn the public about the dangers. In one case filed against Ethicon, the company was ordered by a judge to pay over $3 million for damages.

To date, several thousand transvaginal mesh lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturers and many experts are saying that Johnson & Johnson, Boston Scientific, and other companies did not adhere to the FDA’s guidelines when testing the product. These same experts have also alleged the companies in question used loopholes in the system to avoid the standard tests required for approval from the FDA.

Victims are upset and confused and searching for answers and the FDA has ordered over 30 of the manufacturers of vaginal mesh to perform post-market safety tests. For those who have already had the surgery, this action seems like “too little too late”.
