Even if you have not noticed problems or complications from your mesh implant, it is essential to understand the potential long-term risks of vaginal/pelvic mesh. A recent study quotes physicians as saying “even 2 or 3 years of follow-up without erosion does not guarantee a future free from erosion; there is no safe time for erosion when permanent materials are used.” It’s important to be aware that even after many years complications can begin and ongoing check-ups are necessary.

In order to get compensation for your transvaginal mesh implant injuries, it is critical that you file a claim against the specific manufacturer of your implant. Often even the surgeons don’t know the implant manufacturer. We can help you determine the manufacturer of your implant and make sure you don’t navigate the complicated world of pharmaceutical manufacturing alone.
