Mentor Vaginal Mesh Implant Lawsuit Filed
By John Curran
Mentor Worldwide is not mentioned as often as other major vaginal mesh implant manufacturers, but its products still lead to transvaginal mesh implant failure side effects. The company is the defendant in a vaginal mesh implant lawsuit filed by a woman from Minnesota, court documents indicate. Like other vaginal mesh implant lawsuits, the plaintiff lists a number of Mentor bladder sling implant side effects, but the full list must have been devastating for the woman.
As a result of the Mentor vaginal sling implant failing, it not only did not cure her stress urinary incontinence, but it also led to infections, cysts, and actually damaged the vaginal walls. Unlike many other lawsuits, however, the transvaginal mesh implant failure side effects also included an abscess. Due to the location, it led to permanent problems. It is unclear according to the Mentor vaginal mesh implant lawsuit how many revision surgeries may have been required as a result of the defective implant.
However, those are common problems. The reason for many of the transvaginal mesh implant failure side effects is the use of synthetic materials. For many women, polypropylene is biologically incompatible. Resulting inflammation pushes the implant out of where the surgeon expected it. In addition to the problems suffered by this woman, it can also lead to organ perforation of the vagina and the bladder, among others.
Vaginal sling implant manufacturers all face plaintiffs’ lawsuits of these side effects. While little known, even Mentor Worldwide has enough lawsuits against it from bladder sling implant victims that the lawsuits have been grouped together into a multidistrict litigation. The Mentor vaginal mesh implant lawsuit MDL speeds up the process by using a bellwether trial to streamline discovery and other portions of the legal process.
The good news is that the processes are in place for people who have developed side effects from vaginal mesh implants made by most manufacturers. It may be of little solace to women who require several surgeries to repair the damage. As many bladder sling implant lawsuit lawyers note, in some cases it is actually impossible to fix all of the problems.
