New Gynecare Bladder Sling Implant Lawsuit Filed

By John Curran

 

bladder sling implantA number of manufacturers are facing lawsuits regarding bladder sling implant failures. One of the most recent cases involves the vaginal mesh implant Gynecare Gynemesh, which uses a synthetic material. The Gynecare lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.

Vaginal mesh implants are used to help strengthen the pelvic wall, and were expected to help men, but especially women, who were dealing with stress urinary incontinence. In addition, compared to bladder sling implants that use biological components, they were supposed to last about a year or two longer. That same longevity is what is causing many problems, including for the woman who filed the Gynecare Gynemesh lawsuit.

Many people are allergic to polypropylene and related materials that manufacturers used in these types of vaginal mesh implants. With the inflammation, damage like organ perforation side effects becomes more likely because the vaginal mesh implant is not adjustable. In fact, urologists are looking on intently at a product that is being studied in the United Kingdom. While it is only in development, the fact that small changes can be made can help with any of these potential failures.

Bladder sling implants have been the cause of varying legal results, with some women receiving jury awards and others having their cases dismissed based on a lack of causation demonstrated by expert witnesses. As with these claims, the most recent plaintiff should ensure that her vaginal mesh implant lawsuit attorney is able to find the right doctor who can link the device to the problems she has dealt with after the procedure.

Still, numerous companies are the subject of intense legal scrutiny, and successes have paved the way for more amenable results depending on the device. Due to the multiple surgeries that many women require to have these problems fixed, a jury award or vaginal mesh settlement can be extremely important in order to pay for these needs.
