Vaginal mesh procedures have a long and disturbing history of physical problems. Many women have been the victim of vaginal mesh complications. The FDA is taking action against many manufacturers but unfortunately thousands of women have been adversely affected and are now coming forward seeking compensation. The Zevan and Davidson Law Firm fight for women who have been victimized by faulty vaginal mesh designs and implantation.
Defective vaginal mesh implantations have led to many grave complications. In July of 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discovered that the complications linked to this device are very common. If you have experienced complications after a vaginal mesh operation you may rightly deserve compensation.
So what is a vaginal mesh? It is a device which is placed transvaginally during operations to cure stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). It is also sometimes called a bladder sling. When the surgery is in process, this mesh is inserted via an incision into the wall of the vagina to give support to organs e.g. the bladder. It is considered minimally invasive and usually takes a few minutes and is conducted on an out-patient basis.
The complications that can arise due to a defective vaginal mesh can be incorrigible and include vaginal scarring, urinary problems, vaginal fistulas, mesh erosion into the vagina, acute pain during intercourse and pelvic pain.
Thus, if you have suffered injuries due to incorrect implantation of the vaginal mesh, you may deserve compensation for your wounds. Since a vaginal mesh is a medical device, injuries caused by it fall under the realm of product liability. And so, the manufacturer of vaginal mesh is to be held accountable.
The treatment for the resulting complications incorporate many types of surgeries and even after them, the damage may be irrevocable. Compensation can help you pay for your medical bills, make up for the time that you take off from work for recovery and lessen the damage that has been done to your standard of living.
It is imperative that you contact a vaginal mesh lawyer quickly since your wounds can deteriorate with time. If you discuss your case with a vaginal mesh attorney, you will be able to protect and defend your legal rights. Moreover, a time limit has been set for filing your lawsuit and is known as the statute of limitations. This time limit differs considerably in different states and the time period that will be granted to you will also be affected by the unique circumstances that characterize your case.
The Zevan and Davidson Law Firm fight for women who have been victimized by faulty vaginal mesh designs and implantations. We make sure that our clients are duly compensated for their physical and emotional pain, and that laws are strengthened so that businesses and government agencies cannot continue to victimize patients.
