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.
Transvaginal mesh lawsuit updates are an important part of the fight for justice and compensation for women around the world.

In the UK, there has been a number of lawsuits and actions that have been launched. Right now, we’re representing a cohort of Claimants for individual cases, and the wider fight for justice continues. The vaginal mesh saga has been ongoing for decades and the fight is far from over for many of the women who have suffered terrible complications when their mesh implant has gone wrong.
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.
When mesh implants worsen incontinence, it’s a serious matter. Vaginal mesh is intended to resolve problems like incontinence. But when things go wrong, it can be worsened.
There are a number of problems and complications that women can suffer from when a vaginal mesh procedure goes wrong. When there are cases where problems and complications cannot be resolved, some patients may be left with issues for life.
So, what can you do if this happens to you? Can you make a claim for compensation as a victim who has suffered when a vaginal mesh implant hasn’t worked?
Critics have hit out over the new vaginal mesh guidelines that have been introduced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
The new guidelines are said to have taken into account the experiences of numerous women who have suffered serious complications caused by vaginal mesh implants. There’s also said to be an increased focus on the need for women to be better informed about the potential risks, some of which can leave women unable to work or walk ever again.
But many believe that the new guidelines don’t go far enough and certainly don’t appear to have truly mirrored the horrendous suffering many women have endured. As a law firm acting for women who have suffered form vaginal mesh surgery, we know how bad it can get.
This month, a Bard mesh recall has been initiated, and the company has decided to no longer produce and distribute their mesh devices.
The mesh products made by Bard – C.R. Bard (Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD)) – are for treating POP (pelvic organ prolapse) and SUI (stress urinary incontinence). The recall is voluntary, and the advice so far is that the devices don’t need to be removed. However, anyone who suffers with complications should seek advice immediately.
The recall has been launched with immediate effect, according to the company’s written publications.

A lost earnings claim in a vaginal mesh compensation case can be important. In fact, it can make up a large proportion of the whole claim itself.
Your vaginal mesh compensation case will usually be separated into two parts. The first we call ‘General Damages’, which is for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. We know that vaginal mesh complications can be severe, so this element of the case can be significant. The other part we call ‘Special Damages’, and it’s this part where the lost earnings claim is a part of.
