Surgical Mesh Implant Infographic Sums Up TVM Problems

December 24th, 2012. By AbiK

2013 will prove to be the “Year of the Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit”, if a quick look at the upcoming court dates is indicative of anything. The first TVM lawsuit to go to trial will be the multi-district litigation (MDL) In re: C.R. Bard, Inc., Pelvic Repair Systems Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2187), which heads to court in February.

Three more transvaginal mesh (also referred to as “transvaginal sling”) MDL’s start heading to court in 2013 as well–though later in the year, with the first slotted for December 3, 2013. Those cases are: In re: American Medical Systems, Inc., Pelvic Repair System Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2325); In re: Ethicon, Inc., Pelvic Repair Systems Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2327); and In re: Boston Scientific Corp., Pelvic Repair Systems Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2326).

This transvaginal mesh infographic shows the history of the medical implant and also the problems the mesh has faced (or, allegedly created) along the way. The depiction was created for the Rottenstein Law Group in NYC.
