In July 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a medical alert containing strong warnings of injury risks associated with polypropylene transvaginal mesh and related pelvic and bladder support products.

Implanted in mesh, tape and sling forms, these products were intended to treat the conditions — stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. The FDA report culminated several years of prior investigation and followed a previous alert, prompting many victims of “erosion” (splitting of the skin) and other serious complications to consider legal action against the product manufacturers.

Patient reports and FDA warnings have referenced:

• Severe pain
• Erosion (protrusion of the mesh or tape through skin) and infection
• Potential for organ or blood vessel perforation
• Increased severity of urinary problems
• Need for corrective surgery

Medical product manufacturers that have marketed these mesh, sling and similar products include American Medical Systems, C.R. Bard, Boston Scientific and Johnson & Johnson.
