A recent vaginal mesh lawsuit has been filed against the companies responsible for the production and distribution of an allegedly faulty vaginal mesh sling, reports say. Two defendants have been named in this lawsuit: Mentor Worldwide LLC and Coloplast Corporation. The lawsuit, which was filed on March 4, 2013, will be a part of MDL 2387 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, Charleston Division. According to the plaintiff who filed the case, she suffered from severe complications while using the bladder sling system, resulting in injuries that required her to undergo corrective procedures.
The alleged device, which is a bladder sling known as the Aris-Transobturator Sling System, is manufactured and distributed by the combined efforts of Coloplast Corporation and Mentor Worldwide LLC. It received the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on January 24, 2005, under K031767 and K042851. Due to the great demand for vaginal mesh implants at that time, this device has earned the manufacturing companies millions of dollars in revenue.
Despite its popularity, however, many have reportedly suffered from complications associated with the vaginal mesh implant. Such complications include mesh erosion, infection, pain, bladder perforation, and recurrent pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Some of the patients who suffered from one of these serious vaginal mesh complications had to undergo corrective procedures in order to take out the failed implant.
According to court documents, the plaintiff at the center of the above lawsuit is a Georgia woman who was implanted with the Aris-Transobturator Sling System in February 2008. After her implant surgery, she allegedly experienced tremendous pain and discomfort. Due to the severity of her complications, the woman underwent corrective procedures in order to take away the implant and treat her injuries.
The Georgia woman’s lawsuit accuses the manufacturers, Coloplast and Mentor, of withholding vital information regarding the risks associated with use of the companies’ faulty bladder sling.
