How to File a Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit

Transvaginal meshes are medical devices that are implanted in the pelvic area; they provide support to weakened muscles and tissue areused in the treatment of conditions such as stress urinary incontinence as well as pelvic organ prolapse. Each year, close to 100,000 women get this particular implant every year across the globe.

Problems caused by synthetic meshes

When these synthetic meshes were first introduced into the market, they were considered to be a superior alternative to many other options available at the time. The manufacturers and distributors also marketed these products very aggressively and this led people to opt for synthetic mesh implants. The unfortunate part was that there was no clear mention of the risks and complications that could arise from the use of this medical device.

Since the product had been cleared by the FDA, medical professionals, as well as patients, presumed that these products were safe for use. All medical products and medications are required to go through a string of clinical trials and research before they can be cleared by the FDA and are released into the market.



Somehow these mesh products slipped through the cracks in the system and made it to the market. Medical professionals began recommending this implant treatment procedure to their patients in a big way. But the complications and problems started cropping up much later and many patients began complaining of pain, infections, bleeding and more.

Major Companies in Talk With TVM Lawsuit

Transvaginal mesh is a net-like device that was originally used in the surgical procedures to treat hernias. More recently, manufacturers of these meshes began to market the device as a method of permanently treating pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and Stress Urinary Inconsistence (SUI). POP is a condition that is common in women after hysterectomy or child birth when the pelvic floor muscles are weakened, causing one or more pelvic organs to drop from their intended position. The mesh reinforces the pelvic region and prevents these organs from dropping. The mesh can either be manufactured from biological materials or synthetic raw materials. However, there have been plenty of adverse reports associated with the mesh implant. Till date, over 100,000 transvaginal mesh lawsuits have been filed and some of which resulted in multi-million dollar verdicts. Given its stature of settlements, TVM lawsuits are shaping up to be one of the largest medical device mass torts in history. Accord
