What Does Pelvic Mesh do and Why are Women Suing Over it?
Pelvic mesh, also known as transvaginal mesh or surgical mesh, is a medical device used to treat conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. These conditions often occur after childbirth, menopause, or a hysterectomy, and the mesh is designed to provide support to weakened or damaged tissue in the pelvic area.
Despite the intended benefits, many women have experienced serious complications after pelvic mesh implantation, leading to widespread lawsuits. The lawsuits allege that the manufacturers of pelvic mesh devices failed to adequately test the products, failed to warn patients and healthcare providers about the potential risks, and in some cases, marketed the products deceptively.
