Transvaginal Mesh (TVM) Lawsuit
Thousands of women have filed lawsuits after suffering serious injuries caused by transvaginal mesh implants. If you've experienced pain, complications, or revision surgeries following mesh implantation for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI), you may be entitled to significant compensation.
What Is Transvaginal Mesh (TVM)?
Transvaginal mesh is a medical device surgically implanted to treat conditions like pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Manufacturers claimed these implants offered a long-term solution, but many women reported severe complications soon after surgery.
Common TVM Complications
TVM implants have been linked to severe complications, causing significant pain and health issues for many women.
Common complications include:
- Mesh erosion through vaginal tissue
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Organ perforation (bladder, bowel, uterus)
- Infections and inflammation
- Vaginal bleeding or discharge
- Need for one or more revision surgeries
Manufacturers Facing Lawsuits
Several manufacturers have been named in thousands of lawsuits due to the complications caused by their transvaginal mesh products.
Manufacturers involved include:
- Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson)
- C.R. Bard
- Boston Scientific
- American Medical Systems (AMS)
- Coloplast
Many of these companies have already paid out billions in settlements and jury verdicts.
Compensation for Victims
Victims of TVM complications may be eligible for significant compensation to cover various damages.
Compensation may include:
- Medical bills (including revision surgeries)
- Lost wages and future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability
- Loss of consortium
Some settlements have reached $500,000+ per case, depending on severity and number of surgeries.
Legal Status of the TVM Lawsuit
Over 100,000 lawsuits have been filed in federal and state courts due to complications from transvaginal mesh implants. Many cases are part of a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) in the Southern District of West Virginia. The FDA issued warnings and ordered mesh for POP to be removed from the market in 2019.
Don't Wait – Time May Be Limited
Statutes of limitations vary by state. If you or someone you know has suffered after receiving a transvaginal mesh implant, now is the time to act. You may still be eligible for compensation—but time is running out.
