In important worldwide news about the vaginal mesh scandal, an expert who has helped thousands of victims in the U.S. settle claims has hit out at the plastic used in pelvic mesh devices.
Chartered Chemist Dr Chris DeArmitt has given testimonies that have reportedly helped some 9,000 women in America settle their cases out of court. He says that the testing on the plastic used for the devices is “way less than you would see on a vacuum cleaner or a washing machine”, which is incredibly worrying.
Given the severity of pelvic mesh compilations and how badly they can affect people, it’s incredibly important that the voices of experts like Dr DeArmitt are heard as the worldwide fight for justice continues.
There are some who believe that certain manufacturers have been hiding surgical mesh problems since the day they launched their products in the market.
Many manufacturers continue to deny that there’s anything wrong with the products they produce and sell, and some have passed the responsibility for problems on to alleged poor surgical technique. The longstanding debates and disputes over the safety and efficacy of vaginal mesh looks set to continue for quite some time, especially given the recent guideline reviews in the UK that have faced heavy criticism.
At the centre of all these issues remains the patients; some of whom have been left with severe and permanent complications. If side-effects of mesh have been hidden, the consequences must be severe.
The symptoms of pelvic mesh problems can be wide-ranging and can leave patients with complications for a long time, and in some cases, indefinitely.
In many cases, it’s only possible to remove part of the ineffective mesh device, and in other cases, it cannot be removed at all. However, even when it can be removed, women can be left with severe complications from nerve damage and scarring caused by the mesh.
It’s therefore important to recognise the symptoms associated with vaginal mesh problems, and it’s also important to know your legal rights.
Pelvic mesh removal problems can be serious, and with the issue of complete removal impossible in some cases, victims need to know their rights for justice.
We pursue claims for personal injury compensation for women who have suffered as a result of their transvaginal mesh surgery causing problems. We’re representing a number of women for legal cases, and the issue of removal problems can be factored into a claim.
There are a few things that we can do as part of the case to assist, and you can be eligible to claim damages where removal has been a problem as well.
Vaginal mesh aftercare, especially when things go wrong, has faced significant criticism around the world, including here in the UK.
Last year, a widespread pause for the use of transvaginal mesh and tape for things like stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) was put in place. In April this year, revised guidelines were issued by NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), which have also faced stern criticism.
When it comes what you can do about the injustices of poor aftercare, you should know that you have rights. And we’re here to help you.

Many people feel that TVT surgery support and aftercare remains inadequate, even after the conclusions of the recent review and the additional guidelines from NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence).
The revised guidance has already face significant criticism on the basis that it doesn’t go far enough, and fails to address the long-term impact vaginal mesh devices can have.
Despite this being a worldwide issue that has been going on for over a decade, women undergoing TVT surgery in the last few years are still not receiving adequate support, it’s claimed. Although we can’t turn back the clock, we can make sure that clients who claim compensation with us are supported as best as we can.
As part of a claim for personal injury compensation, you may be able to claim back additional vaginal mesh surgery costs, as well as other losses and expenses.
When you make a claim, it isn’t just compensation you receive for the pain and suffering. The idea is that you should not be out-of-pocket financially, and you should be back in the position you were in prior to the negligence. Treatment, surgery and claiming back costs can be an important part of this, and it can all be factored into your case.
We’ll give you a brief overview as to how it all works in this article, so read on for more advice.
Following last year’s pause on the use of the procedure, the big question on many people’s lips is this: will the UK ban vaginal mesh surgery as other countries have?
One of the primary criticisms over the outcome of the recent changes into the use of vaginal mesh that followed last year’s ban was that it suggested there’s a lack of long-term knowledge. From the tens of thousands of women worldwide who have suffered complications, some of them permanent, there’s clearly a great deal of long-term knowledge out there.
But despite this, the UK has still yet to ban the use of vaginal mesh surgery procedures, and many are left wondering whether a permanent ban will ever take place.
