New Data of Interest to Vaginal Mesh Victims and Their Vaginal Mesh Lawyers

Vaginal mesh lawyers are expected to review the newly released safety data on Ethicon’s products. The information may reveal key information about how the company brought its products to market, and about how much it knew about serious safety risks and complications.

Vaginal mesh may be used in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. This exists when a woman’s pelvic muscles become overly stretched and weakened due to multiple childbirths, surgery, or aging. The muscles may allow the bladder, uterus, or bowel to drop or fall into the vaginal wall because they are not able to adequately support pelvic organs. This may cause symptoms like pressure and urinary incontinence.

Gynecare mesh and similar mesh products were designed to provide support and help pelvic organs back into their original position. This helps to reduce urinary incontinence and other symptoms. Post-marketing reports, however, indicate that women are experiencing more pain and discomfort than prior to the surgery.

On July 13, 2011, the FDA released a safety communication noting that complications from transvaginal mesh repair for pelvic organ prolapse are not rare. The FDA also noted that even multiple corrective surgeries may not fully correct problems like erosion and infection. Other side effects may include organ perforation, bleeding, continued urinary problems, painful sexual intercourse, mesh extrusion, and recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse.

Currently, thousands of women are involved in transvaginal mesh lawsuits around the country. In addition to products made by Ethicon, other manufacturers named as defendants include American Medical Systems, C. R. Bard, Boston Scientific, and Coloplast.

Johnson & Johnson Pulls Four Gynecare Products from Market

With over 600 vaginal mesh lawsuits currently pending in state and federal courts, Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon have stopped selling four vaginal mesh implants. In correspondence filed June 4, 2012, the companies told Judge Joseph R. Goodwin, who is overseeing the current vaginal mesh MDL in the U.S. District Court in West Virginia, that they would cease commercializing the four products and plan to phase them out completely by early 2013.

Products included in the phase-out include:

    Gynecare TVT Secur
    Gynecare Prosima Pelvic Floor Repair System
    Gynecare Prolift Pelvic Floor Repair System
    Gynecare Prolift MTM Pelvic Floor Repair System

Despite this move, the companies will still be expected to release safety data regarding these four products for the New Jersey litigation.

The Gynecare Prolift device was the subject of an earlier controversy, when documents released from a New Jersey lawsuit revealed that Johnson & Johnson continued to sell the mesh even after the FDA directed the company to halt sales because the device lacked the appropriate clearance.

We will continue to keep you updated as new developements occurr.

Bard Trials To Begin Next Year

C.R. Bard Inc. will face its first federal-court trial next year over claims that the company’s vaginal-mesh implants injured women.

U.S. District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin in Charleston, West Virginia, set a Feb. 5 trial date for the first of about 600 federal cases contending that Bard’s Avaulta device caused organ damage. Goodwin is overseeing a consolidation of cases filed in federal courts across the U.S. against Bard, Johnson & Johnson and other makers of vaginal-mesh inserts.

The order of trials for the first federal cases over Avaulta “will be determined after completion” of pretrial information exchanges between Bard and the plaintiffs, Goodwin said in his order yesterday.

We will continue to report as the news comes out.

 Coloplast Products Have Been  Named in The Vaginal Mesh Lawsuits
According to their website, Coloplast develops products and services “to make life easier for people with deeply personal and private medical conditions.” The company has a special focus on surgical urology, developing surgical devices for both men and women. For women, Coloplast markets products to treat pelvic organ prolapse and to control urinary incontinence.
The August 6 order by the JPML centralized 13 Coloplast pelvic mesh lawsuits into West Virginia. All plaintiffs allege that the company’s products caused serious injuries. The products at issue in these lawsuits, Novasilk, Exair, Suspend, and Axis, are used to treat pelvic organ prolapse by supporting weakened pelvic muscles.
Consolidation into one court helps conserve resources, increase efficiency, and reduce the risk of duplicative discovery or conflicting rulings from other courts. Each lawsuit retains its individual nature, however, and will be returned to its original court for trial after pre-trial proceedings are complete.

Wome are advised to file litigation immediately to avoid being closed out due to a staute of limitation issue in your state. All the noted mesh ccomplications are being seen in these mesh devices.

Yaz cases are being reviewed for Yaz related strokes, blood clots, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis.The FDA has demanded new warnings on yaz labeling  for strokes and blood clots and it is well known that Yaz can cause strokes , heart attack and pulmonary embolism.

Yaz Pulmonary Embolism Risk Is Based on the Blood Clot Risk

The estrogen in combined-hormone contraceptives such as Yaz and in other hormonal treatments increases the risk of blood clot formation. Blood clots are the most frequent cause of pulmonary embolisms; a pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot in the body breaks free from the site where it formed and travels to a lung. The risk of blood clots any place in the body can result in nthese blood clots traveling and can be fatal

While most blood clots form in one of the legs,as deep vein thrombosis they can also form in an arm, in the heart, or even an eye.
