Transvaginal Mesh Injuries and Defective Drugs - You are Entitled to Help from an experienced attorney

Transvaginal Mesh Injuries Demand Swift Action

Call Attorney John R. Solis

The transvaginal mesh, which was used to treat pelvic disorders, is a medical device that turned many women's lives upside-down. This surgical mesh was marketed at women to help with a serious condition called "pelvic organ prolapse" (POP). The transvaginal mesh and/or the bladder sling were implanted in women to address stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

If you or someone you know was one of the thousands of women who were implanted with the transvaginal mesh or bladder sling, you may be dealing with serious complications and wondering where to turn to next. Side effects or serious complications include mesh erosion, in which the mesh moves through the vaginal wall and sometimes into other organs. Other complications include infections, pain, urinary problems and organ perforation, which can occur after the mesh erodes through soft tissue and punctures organs.

  • American Medical Systems
  • Bard
  • Boston Scientific
  • Johnson & Johnson

Actos

Doctors prescribed Actos (generically known as pioglitazone hydrochloride) to treat type II diabetes. Unfortunately, this drug is linked to an increased risk of developing bladder cancer, especially among those who used the diabetes drug for more than a year. Actos lawsuits already have been filed against manufacturer Takeda Pharmaceuticals. Attorneys for the injured victims allege the company failed to warn consumers about the risk of developing bladder cancer, among other charges.

Cook IVC Filter

Cook Medical manufactured a device known as the Cook Celect Vena Cava Filter, a retrievable IVC filter designed for people facing the risk of pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). The Cook Celect or Cook Gunther Tulip IVC filter is implanted by a doctor in an at-risk patient to prevent blood from migrating to the lungs. However, the device may cause more harm than good in some patients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration fielded reports about serious complications, including perforation of major blood vessels. In other cases, there have been reports of stroke or internal bleeding, migration of the device and perforation of the IVC.
