What Makes Transvaginal Mesh So Dangerous?

One of the main reasons TVM is dangerous is due to its high rate of complications and failure. The materials used in these products can cause severe injuries, including but not limited to:

• Erosion: When the mesh erodes through vaginal tissue or internal organs, causing extreme pain and discomfort.
• Infection: The material used in the mesh can cause serious infections, leading to additional health issues.
• Organ Perforation: The sharp edges of the mesh can puncture and damage nearby organs such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum.
• Chronic Pain: Many women experience chronic pelvic pain due to the presence of TVM.
• Urinary Problems: Mesh erosion or organ perforation can lead to urinary issues such as incontinence or retention.

Knowing if you are suffering from these complications can be difficult as symptoms may not appear immediately. Common signs you may have complications from TVM include:

• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Vaginal bleeding or discharge
• Incontinence or difficulty urinating
• Recurring infections in the urinary tract or vagina

Even if you don't have any of these complications but have received TVM surgery, you should still consider speaking with medical and legal professionals. 

Once complications arise, the damage may be irreversible, and you may have a strong case for compensation with the help of a lawyer in our network of legal professionals.

Types of TVM Products

There are several different types of TVM products included in these lawsuits. If you have received any of these in a surgical procedure, you may be eligible to join the TVM lawsuits:

• ObTape: This Mentor-manufactured device was among the first to spark transvaginal mesh lawsuits, resulting in an MDL from 2008 to 2017.
• Aris Transobturator Sling: This sling is part of Coloplast's pelvic mesh offerings. It has been implicated in legal actions due to injury claims.
• Obtryx Transobturator Mid-Urethral Sling System: Following its partial removal, lawsuits have been filed regarding injuries from this Boston Scientific product.
• Advantage Transvaginal Mid-Urethral Sling System: Involved in various legal cases due to complications and patient injuries.
• Pinnacle Pelvic Floor Repair Kit: This kit is under scrutiny because of adverse effects reported post-operation.
• Uphold Vaginal Support System: Facing legal challenges for its alleged role in causing patient harm.

If you've experienced any issues with TVM products, consulting with a lawyer could clarify your rights and potential compensation.

What Should I Do If I Have Experienced Complications from TVM?

If you have received a TVM product and are experiencing complications, seek medical attention and legal counsel as soon as possible. Doing so will provide an official record of your injuries to help build your case and protect your health.

Also, keep detailed documentation of all medical bills, procedures, and any other relevant information related to your complications. This can be used as evidence in your lawsuit.

Why Are Women Filing Transvaginal MeshLawsuits?

While the life-threatening complications should be enough to warrant a lawsuit against TVM manufacturers, there are other reasons why women are seeking compensation:

• Negligence: The lawsuits claim that the manufacturers of TVM products were aware of the potential complications and failed to warn patients and doctors about them.
• Deceptive Marketing: Many women claim they were misled by manufacturers who marketed TVM as a safe and effective treatment for pelvic conditions.
• Lack of Proper Testing: Lawsuits claim these products were not thoroughly tested before release, leading to unforeseen complications.
• Emotional and Financial Burden: Complications from TVM can cause emotional distress and financial strain due to medical expenses, loss of income, and other related costs.

If you have experienced any of these issues, you may have a strong case for compensation. Our network of legal professionals can help you navigate the complexities of transvaginal mesh lawsuits and fight for your rights.
