TRANSVAGINAL MESH PRODUCTS – DEFECTIVE SURGICAL MESH LAWYERS
Since 2006, the product liability attorneys at Blasingame, Burch, Garrard & Ashley, P.C., have been helping women harmed by transvaginal mesh products. We have developed an understanding of the complex medical, scientific and legal issues involving transvaginal mesh products. Here is just some of what we have learned:
- Many transvaginal mesh products sold in this country were not properly researched, tested, designed or manufactured.
- Many of these products were rushed to market without proper testing for safety.
- Patients and doctors were never warned of the frequency and severity of the complications associated with these devices.
- The device manufacturers never warned doctors or patients that these mesh devices can undergo chemical, physical and mechanical changes after being implanted, such as shrinking or degrading.
- The manufacturers of these devices never warned patients or their doctors that complications associated with these products may require additional surgeries to remove the mesh and that the mesh may be difficult or impossible to fully remove.
- The manufacturers’ failure to take these steps deprived women of the right to make an informed choice about their medical care.
We are here to help. Our trained female consultants will confidentially discuss your situation and circumstances. Our defective mesh product lawyers are aggressive advocates for women’s health care. We will work to ensure you get the recovery you deserve for the serious side effects you’ve suffered.
