Did you experience severe complications after receiving a transvaginal mesh implant?

Thousands of women across the country have filed lawsuits against the makers of transvaginal mesh products, alleging life-altering complications such as chronic pain, organ damage, infection, and mesh erosion. These lawsuits claim that manufacturers failed to properly warn patients and doctors about the risks—leaving many to suffer permanent health consequences.

What Is Transvaginal Mesh?

Transvaginal mesh (TVM) is a surgical device implanted through the vaginal wall to treat conditions like pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). These devices are also called:

  • Vaginal mesh
  • Bladder sling mesh
  • TVT mesh (transvaginal tape)
  • Y-mesh implants

While the devices were marketed as safe, the FDA issued warnings in 2011, noting that complications are not rare and may cause permanent injury.

Common Transvaginal Mesh Complications

Women who have received vaginal mesh implants report complications including:

  • Mesh erosion into surrounding organs
  • Chronic pelvic or vaginal pain
  • Bleeding and infection
  • Pain during sexual intercourse
  • Vaginal scarring or tightening
  • Organ perforation
  • Autoimmune problems

Manufacturers and Devices Under Investigation

Some of the companies named in lawsuits include:

  • Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) – TVT, Gynemesh, Prolift
  • Boston Scientific – Pinnacle, Obtryx, Solyx
  • C.R. Bard – Avaulta, PelviSoft, PelviLace
  • American Medical Systems (AMS) – MiniArc Sling
  • Coloplast Corp. – Coloplast Mesh
  • Mentor – ObTape
  • Caldera Medical, Cook Medical, Tyco IVS

What Are the Lawsuits Seeking?

Women filing transvaginal mesh lawsuits are pursuing compensation for:

  • Medical bills, including revision surgeries
  • Lost wages and future income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of quality of life

Why Now?

Many manufacturers have pulled transvaginal mesh products from the market, but lawsuits are still being filed. Each state has a deadline (statute of limitations), so acting quickly is important.

Key Differences Between Mass Tort and Class Action Lawsuits

Structure:
  • Mass Tort: Involves multiple individual lawsuits grouped together due to common elements or defendants.
  • Class Action Lawsuits: A single lawsuit brought on behalf of a larger group, known as the class, with a designated representative plaintiff.
Individual Control:
  • Mass Tort: Each plaintiff maintains control over their case and its resolution.
  • Class Action Lawsuits: Class members have limited control over the lawsuit, with decisions made by the representative plaintiff and their legal team.
Compensation:
  • Mass Tort: Compensation and settlements are determined individually, considering the unique circumstances and harm suffered by each plaintiff.
  • Class Action Lawsuits: Compensation and settlements are typically distributed uniformly among all class members, often on a pro-rata basis.
Applicability:
  • Mass Tort: Ideal when cases involve varying degrees of harm or distinct circumstances for each plaintiff.
  • Class Action Lawsuits: Effective when numerous claimants have similar claims and a uniform resolution is practical.
Efficiency:
  • Mass Tort: May be more time-consuming and complex due to individual case management.
  • Class Action Lawsuits: Generally more efficient in terms of time and resources as it consolidates claims into one proceeding.
Understanding these differences is crucial for both plaintiffs and defendants when determining the most appropriate legal strategy for addressing a collective grievance or harm.
