Injured From Vaginal Mesh?

The first vaginal mesh case to go before a jury has concluded this week. C.R. Bard (a manufacturer of vaginal mesh implants) and the doctor who performed the operation were ordered to pay $5.5 million in damages. This California jury determined that Bard was 60% responsible while the doctor was 40% responsible. Bard plans to appeal the verdict.

In this particular case, the mesh implant had eroded and was causing significant pain as well as incontinence and other complications. Erosion of mesh implants is the most common side effect and can lead to pain, bleeding, perforation of nearby organs, pain during intercourse, etc. In this case $500,000 of the $5.5 million was actually awarded to the victim’s husband for the inability to be intimate with his wife.

Similar cases are mounting, not only against Bard, but against other manufacturers of vaginal mesh implants including Johnson & Johnson. J&J was recently ordered to halt all sales of their mesh products due to the high levels of complaints that the FDA has received. Regardless of the manufacturer, they are all similar in design and have similar serious design flaws.
