The defective vaginal mesh and its contribution to serious health complications with the defective Bard Avaulta mesh system are not breaking news; these products have been displaying life-changing and irreversible side-effects for years, and victims from all over the country are still coming forward. As with most products liability cases, many victims are unaware that they are being negatively affected by the product until it has left them with permanent injuries. Victims are still struggling to comprehend how their health and safety are compromised by reckless manufacturing and the stubborn unwillingness of manufacturers to put the safety of their consumers above their profit margin.

Why the Bard Avaulta Product is So Dangerous

The Bard Avaulta mesh is an implanted synthetic, surgical mesh device designed to restore normal vaginal structure after a pelvic organ prolapse. Unfortunately, these defective products have been showing signs of deteriorating by erosion, and the hardening and shrinking of mesh materials after they have been implanted in the patient's body. This has led to multiple serious health complications such as:

Surgical mesh infection
Pain
Dyspareunia
Erosion through vaginal epithelium
Urinary problems
Recurrence of prolapsed and/or incontinence
Bowel, bladder, and blood vessel perforation

These complications have led to patients having to undergo multiple additional surgical procedures to remove or repair the mesh as well as blood transfusions, drainage of hematomas, and IV therapy. These additional procedures have resulted in additional scarring, physical and emotional.

What To Do If You Have Been Implanted With a Defective Device

The first thing to do if you believe you are the victim of one of these product defects is to see a doctor. Your doctor will be able to give you a full evaluation and determine whether you need to have additional operations, or if you are some sort of an exception. Even if you are not experiencing any pain and you feel that your device is working properly, it would still be in your best interest to consult your physician. It is better to be safe than sorry, and if your device turns out to be defective, you will have saved yourself from a devastating situation.

Victims of this product defect are left scared, confused, and feeling as if they have no place to turn. When our clients find out that they placed their trust in a company that did not take the time to ensure that their product was safe, it is always a hard truth to fathom.

Vaginal Mesh Injuries - Implications

It is truly unfortunate when companies decide to market medical devices that have not been through the testing that's required in order to ensure that the products will last a long time without any serious implications. When implications arise, then they can be severe enough to cause lifetime injury to the patient. When this happens, there usually is no return to the high quality of life that the patient had before. As such, because of the nature of these injuries, it is often necessary to seek the services of an experienced vaginal mesh attorney. They will be able to tell you more about your situation, where you need to go next, how to proceed, and other facts that only an experienced attorney will be able to tell you.

There are many other legal facets of these cases that vary from situation to situation, and not everything can be completely disseminated in a blog or on a website. Also, without a high level understanding of the law in California, its counties and cities, it is nearly impossible to pursue a case on an individual basis without an expert attorney. Be sure that your next step is to contact one, as that will be the deciding factor in the outcome of your vaginal mesh case.
