Pelvic mesh victims being let down has been a common occurrence throughout the entirety of this scandal that has been ongoing across the world for over a decade.
Unfortunately, not only has there been instances of a lack of information and inadequate expertise in implanting vaginal mesh, but there has also been too little assistance when patients have presented problems in some cases. Given that vaginal mesh is a very invasive procedure that can leave women with significant and life-changing problems, if something goes wrong, it is clear that the safety of patients must be the very top priority at all times.
In November 2017, the health watchdog NICE issued a recommendation for a vaginal mesh ban. The month before, the government opposed calls to ban the treatment.
These two opposing viewpoints provide just one example of the controversy that still surrounds vaginal mesh implants, which have faced criticism both in the UK and across the world.
The mesh implants, which are used to treat issues such as pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), have widely been condemned by women who have undergone the treatment, many of whom now have irreversible complications and constant pain.
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.
