Safety Concerns Raised Over 510(k) Device Approval Process

If you are reading this article, you are likely suffering from pain after a prior surgery implanting a transvaginal mesh device / TVT / TVM system and sling.You may have been diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. Whatever the reason, you are likely in pain today, and we believe we can help you. Please contact us immediately for help, as your time to file suit may be expiring soon.

One particular news source recently comments on the 510(k) approval process of the transvaginal mesh, which our firm stands ready to discuss with you or your loved one.

Bloomberg News (10/20, Nussbaum, Voreacos) reports that makers of vaginal mesh implants for treating incontinence and organ prolapse “face more than 600 lawsuits from women who claim the devices caused serious injury.” The FDA continued to approve them through its 510(k) process “based on their similarity to Boston Scientific Corp. (BSX)’s ProteGen even after it was pulled amid safety complaints.” In a January report, “the FDA acknowledged concern about the use of recalled predicates, saying the practice could ‘put patients at risk.'” Meanwhile, “the safety debate has presented a conundrum for manufacturers, who have avoided clinical tests for the devices by calling them similar to one another yet now say the products have advanced far beyond the earlier versions.”

Our team of attorneys is reviewing case evaluations for women across the country who have received TVM and TVT products from manufactures such as C.R. Bard, Avaulta, Boston Scientific, and Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon.

If you need help from a transvaginal mesh device injury, call us today for help.

 The Problem

In 2008, the FDA first released concerns about the safety of transvaginal placement of mesh. From 2008 to 2010, the FDA received three to five times as many adverse reports associated with mesh used for pelvic organ prolapse repair than what agency received from 2005 to 2007 (nearly 1,000 reports of adverse events were received from 2005-2007).

Many of these patients complain because of erosion or contraction of the mesh material (which has been described as being of a similar material as Rubbermaid storage containers).  The erosion leads to bleeding, severe pelvic pain, painful (or impossible) sexual performance and a recurrence of urinary problems.

In July 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an update related to what it called ‘serious complications’ related to the use of vaginal mesh for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).  It is now known that complications linked to transvaginal placement of surgical mesh in SUI and POP patients are not rare and can require multiple surgeries to correct problems related to the use of surgical mesh. In fact, the FDA now says that additional surgeries may actually not be able to repair damage caused by implantation of the mesh.

In other words, the side effects of the mesh placement may be permanent.  These complications from transvaginal placement of surgical mesh include:

  • -Erosion of the implanted mesh
  • -Infection and/or bleeding
  • -Pain, including pain during sexual intercourse
  • -Problems with organs near the implantation site

      Pain Associated with Transvaginal Mesh (TVM) Devices

      FREE CASE EVALUATION: 1-800-632-1404

      Tens of thousands of women receive a transvaginal mesh (TVM) device each and every year from numerous suppliers: American Medical Systems, Bard, Boston Scientific, Ethicon,Gynecare, and Johnson & Johnson.  Thousands of women have been injured through no fault of their own, including vaginal erosion, pain, urinary problems, bleeding, infection and more. Our attorneys are representing women in all fifty states and Canada who have been injured.  For a free case evaluation, call 1-800-632-1404.

      Women Experience Pain

      From a medical standpoint, when pain occurs following the implantation of a transvaginal mesh (TVM) device, it is generally secondary to the mesh being placed too tight or healing in a position that is pulling on the muscles and nerves that are causing irritation. It can also occur if the mesh is not lying properly. In these situations, sexual intercourse becomes painful and uncomfortable. Life also becomes difficult.

      When this occurs, many physicians will employ a conservative approach. Conservative therapy includes pelvic floor physical therapy (manual therapy on the muscles and nerves in the vagina to help relax and/or relieve spasms that may be causing pain). Some women have described temporary relief having undergone physical therapy for this, but find that the problem simply recurs once there therapy ends.

      Another option are trigger point injections (TPIs).  Trigger point injections into the muscles or nerves in the vagina that may be causing the pain is another approach. If the pain persists and doesn’t respond, surgery may be necessary.

      In severe cases an abdominal approach will be necessary to take care of pain. If this is the case, most surgeons recommend major surgery with a large abdominal incision. This can obviously be extremely painful to the patient, and cause life-disrupting complications. It is important to note that with any pelvic surgery, pain can be a complication whether mesh is used or not.

      Our team of attorneys is reviewing case evaluations for women across the country who have received TVM and TVT products from manufactures such as C.R. Bard, Avaulta, Boston Scientific, and Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon.

        Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits Increase In Number for C.R. Bard

        FREE CASE EVALUATION: 1-800-632-1404

        Tens of thousands of women receive a transvaginal mesh (TVM) device each and every year from numerous suppliers: American Medical Systems, Bard, Boston Scientific, Ethicon,Gynecare, and Johnson & Johnson.  Thousands of women have been injured through no fault of their own, including vaginal erosion, pain, urinary problems, bleeding, infection and more. Our attorneys are representing women in all fifty states and Canada who have been injured.  For a free case evaluation, call 1-800-632-1404.

        Increasing Number of Lawsuits for C.R. Bard

        Women are beginning to come forward in greater numbers to allege injuries are caused by transvaginal mesh and sling devices.  Currently class II medical devices, lawsuits allege among other theories that the device manufactures (such as C.R. Bard, Ethicon, and Boston Scientific) failed to test devices, design devices and warn of risks associated with the devices to both physicians and members of the public.

        In fact, dozens of patients with lawsuits against C.R. Bard Inc. (NYSE:BCR) asked to join a multi-district federal case against the company for allegedly selling defective and dangerous products – its Avaulta transvaginal mesh. The multi-district litigation, consolidated from 21 individual lawsuits in October 2010, includes complaints from women implanted with three different types of Bard mesh: The Avaulta Biosynthetic, the Avaulta Plus and the Avaulta Solo mesh. Earlier this month 29 other patients who filed suits regarding other Bard mesh products (Pelvicol, PelviLace, PelviSoft, Pelvitex, Uretex or Align mesh) asked to join the multidistrict litigaion.The complaints arose as transvaginal mesh gained visibility in the public eye over FDA concerns that it might do more harm than good.

        The particular devices are used to treat pelvic organ prolapse, which occurs when internal support structures become so weak or stretched that organs, like the uterus, bladder or bowels, sag from their normal position and bulge or prolapse into the vagina. These devices are separate and apart from the use of other class II medical devices used to treat stress urinary incontinence.

        FDA panel meetings this month appeared to lean toward reclassifying transvaginal mesh products as Class III, the highest-risk category for medical devices, without recalling existing products.

        Fellow mesh makers, including Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) and Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc. (NSDQ:ENDP) agreed that more safety studies and labeling changes could help warn of potential risks and proposed that new applications for transvaginal mesh products require clinical testing. At the same time, patient complaints are growing.

        Johnson & Johnson and Bard and are the target of nearly 500 lawsuits filed by patients claiming the meshes caused internal injuries. Last month Boston Scientific Corp. and American Medical Systems Holdings Inc. (NSDQ:AMMD) found themselves at the center of a lawsuit claiming that transvaginal mesh products sold by the companies were defective and caused severe injuries to a patient.

        Bard’s new federal litigation comes on the heels of a $185 million settlement the company paid in the second quarter for lawsuits concerning its hernia repair products. The fines swallowed the company’s bottom line and pushed it into the red for Q2 2010.

          Transvaginal Mesh Lawyer Reports on Urge Incontinence

          FREE CASE EVALUATION: 1-800-632-1404

          Tens of thousands of women receive a transvaginal mesh (TVM) device each and every year from numerous suppliers: American Medical Systems, Bard, Boston Scientific, Ethicon,Gynecare, and Johnson & Johnson.  Thousands of women have been injured through no fault of their own, including vaginal erosion, pain, urinary problems, bleeding, infection and more. Our attorneys are representing women in all fifty states and Canada who have been injured.  For a free case evaluation, call 1-800-632-1404.

          What is Urge Incontinence?

          As with any operation, there are possible complications or unexpected results from surgery for treatment of stress urinary inconsistence (SUI). Each year, more than 75,000 women are treated surgically for SUI and pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and fitted with a transvaginal mesh (TVM) or transvaginal sling/tape system, including manufactured by Boston Scientific, Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon, and Bard.

          The most frequent complication is frequency and urgency of urination, and urge incontinence. Urge is the involuntary loss of urine that occurs when a patient gets so strong an urge to urinate that she cannot hold it back long enough to reach the bathroom. Many patients have these symptoms temporarily after surgery, but some have them as a persistent problem. People who have urge incontinence before the operation are much more prone to having the symptoms postoperatively. Further, if the operation itself causes a blockage to the urethra urgency and urge incontinence very often occur.

          Urinary retention

          Urinary retention, the inability to urinate after the operation, is another potential complication. This occurs when the operation results in a constriction of the urethra. This is not uncommon in the immediate period after surgery, and fortunately for the great majority of women, it gets better by itself. In most instances, the risk of developing urinary retention can be determined from the preoperative urodynamic evaluation. In certain people, particularly those with neurologic conditions, urinary retention is an expected outcome. In these, the goal of treatment is to prevent incontinence with the operation and then manage the resulting retention problem by having the patient perform self intermittent catheterization (SIC), a means of emptying the bladder when you cannot urinate normally. It may be used as a temporary method while you are awaiting or undergoing treatment, or it may be part of a permanent treatment program. It is performed by passing a catheter into the bladder (usually through the urethra) to empty the urine. It is usually done three to six times a day, depending on how much urine the bladder can safely hold.

          Other Complications

          Other potential complications such as wound infection, bleeding, pain, and damage to the bladder or urethra are uncommon. As with any operation nonetheless, there is a very remote chance of life-threatening complications

            Alternatives to Transvaginal Mesh and Slings?

            One option for treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the implantation of a class II medical device known as a transvaginal sling / TVT. This post explores another treatment option for SUI: Artificial Urinary Sphincter and Periurethral Injections, which are surgeries for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

            Artificial Urinary Sphincter 

            The artificial sphincter is just what it sounds like. It is a mechanical device that is placed around the urethra that replaces the function of the sphincter. It actually consists of three parts — a cuff that goes around the urethra, and is actually the part that replaces the sphincter, a balloon reservoir, and a control assembly. The operation can be performed either entirely through the lower abdomen or as a combined operation through the abdomen and the vagina.

            Post Surgery

            After the surgery, you must wait about six weeks before the sphincter is “activated” to protect the tissues until they heal. During that time you will remain incontinent. After about six weeks, the device is activated simply by pressing a button on the control assembly, which is located in the labia. Once it’s activated, the sphincter cuff remains closed all the time except when you want to urinate. When you do want to go, you squeeze the control assembly, which transfers fluid out of the cuff and into the balloon reservoir. The cuff opens and you urinate. After three to five minutes the cuff gradually refills without pushing any more buttons. Although results from the sphincter operation are quite good, there is a possibility of mechanical failure, infection, or erosion of the sphincter.

            Periurethral Injections

            Periurethral injections refer to the placement of substances through a needle alongside the urethra that are intended to gently compress the urethra so that urinary leakage doesn’t occur. Periurethral injections can be done under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. Although they require considerable skill on the part of your doctor, they are quite simple, both for the doctor and the patient. The complications are almost nonexistent after periurethral injections and most people are improved or even dry afterwards.

            Drawbacks

            These injections rarely work for long. Most have to be repeated after a matter of months and you may have to have repeat injections many times. Usually, right after the injection, you will be very much improved or even seemingly cured. Then over a period of time, things gradually get worse. This could be a matter of days, weeks, or months. Once they get worse, they tend to worsen until you have your next injection.

             The Problem

            In 2008, the FDA first released concerns about the safety of transvaginal placement of mesh. From 2008 to 2010, the FDA received three to five times as many adverse reports associated with mesh used for pelvic organ prolapse repair than what agency received from 2005 to 2007 (nearly 1,000 reports of adverse events were received from 2005-2007).

            Many of these patients complain because of erosion or contraction of the mesh material (which has been described as being of a similar material as Rubbermaid storage containers).  The erosion leads to bleeding, severe pelvic pain, painful (or impossible) sexual performance and a recurrence of urinary problems.

            In July 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an update related to what it called ‘serious complications’ related to the use of vaginal mesh for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).  It is now known that complications linked to transvaginal placement of surgical mesh in SUI and POP patients are not rare and can require multiple surgeries to correct problems related to the use of surgical mesh. In fact, the FDA now says that additional surgeries may actually not be able to repair damage caused by implantation of the mesh.

            In other words, the side effects of the mesh placement may be permanent.  These complications from transvaginal placement of surgical mesh include:

            • -Erosion of the implanted mesh
            • -Infection and/or bleeding
            • -Pain, including pain during sexual intercourse
            • -Problems with organs near the implantation site

              What is Prolapse?

              The sagging of the bladder and urethra is called prolapse. When the bladder sags, it is commonly called a “dropped bladder.” The medical term for prolapse is cystocele. If the urethra drops, it is called a urethrocele. When the vaginal muscles are weak, other organs can prolapse as well. Rectal prolapse is called rectocele, intestinal prolapse is called enterocele. The uterus and cervix also commonly prolapse, but there is no special name for that; it’s just called uterine prolapse.

              It is commonly thought that prolapse occurs when the vaginal muscles become stretched and weakened during childbirth, but obesity and just the upright position also can result in prolapse. Operations on the vagina, bladder, or urethra can also weaken these supports and cause prolapse and stress incontinence. When a woman walks upright, the equivalent of the belly hanging down is vaginal prolapse, a “hanging down” of the pelvic organs. It occurs because of the way the vagina is shaped. Prolapse doesn’t occur in every woman, and maybe exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles help to prevent it, but it does happen to a lot of women and the older you get the more likely it is to happen.

              Some patients with very severe incontinence are quite satisfied if treatment reduces the amount of incontinence to the point where they can manage with absorbent pads. Others are very distressed at the loss of even a few drops of urine and want to be perfectly dry at all times. Treatment options are varied and run the gamut from absorbent pads, medications, exercises, and electrical stimulation to surgery. Some therapies are of proven efficacy; others are entirely experimental. Surgical treatment, which is widely available, is the most effective. The six categories of operations for stress incontinence include (1) vaginal suspensions, (2) “needle” suspensions, (3) retropubic suspensions, (4) pubovaginal sling operations, (5) prosthetic sphincters, and (6) periurethral injections.

                Transvaginal Mesh Attorney Reports on Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)

                FREE CASE EVALUATION: 1-800-632-1404

                What is Stress Urinary Incontinence?

                Stress urinary incontinence is a condition in which there is involuntary leakage of urine associated with physical activity such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, and changing positions. In some instances, the condition is so severe that even standing or walking may precipitate the urinary loss. Stress incontinence is due to a weakness of the urinary sphincter.

                Many people believe that stress incontinence is a consequence of childbirth. Although childbirth is surely an aggravating factor, stress incontinence is due to multiple factors, not just childbirth. Stress urinary incontinence involves the leakage of small amounts of urine when pressure inside the abdomen increases. The leakage is related to congenital or acquired incompetence of the urinary sphincter. The acquired urethral deficiency may be related to surgical damage, trauma, radiation therapy, or a sacral cord lesion. In women it is commonly associated with postmenopausal tissue changes and previous child bearing, in combination with the wear and tear of living and the years of the general pull of gravity. Laughing, coughing, and sneezing, all of which increase intraabdominal pressure, are often precipitating factors in stress incontinence. Continuous leakage, even during resting or with minimal exertion, can occur in more severe cases

                Although over 125 operations have been designed to treat stress incontinence, they fall into six general categories. All of the operations are based on the same common principles: (1) to restore the support of the bladder and urethra so that they don’t fall down again and (2) to provide a kind of backboard against which the urethra is compressed during stress.

                There are three kinds of medicines that have been prescribed for stress incontinence — alpha-adrenergic agonists, tricyclic antidepressants, and estrogen. All of these medications are prescribed because, theoretically at least, they may help to keep the sphincter closed. The sphincter is composed of, in part, a nearly circular smooth muscle that is supposed to stay closed until it is time to urinate. This sphincteric muscle is located in the bladder neck and proximal urethra (the part closest to the bladder). The chemical messengers that signal the muscle to stay closed belong to a class of neurotransmitters called alpha-adrenergic (ad-rin-urge-ic) agonists. Alpha-adrenergic agonists are medications that mimic the effects of these chemical messengers and tell the sphincter to stay closed. Various medications are available that produce alpha-adrenergic stimulation. Potential side effects of all of these medications include high blood pressure, rapid and/or irregular heartbeat (cardiac arrhythmias), anxiety, and difficulty sleeping (insomnia). That means that these medications should be used with extreme caution (or not at all) in patients with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, or hyperthyroidism.

                Of course, the use of Transvaginal Slings is becoming commonplace in the treatment of SUI.

                  Transvaginal Mesh Lawyer to Report on Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP)

                  FREE CASE EVALUATION: 1-800-632-1404

                  What is Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

                  Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles become weak or damaged and can no longer support the pelvic organs. Pelvic organ prolapse is the loss of muscle strength and connective tissue attachments that support the bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum. When the support is lost, these organs drop, putting pressure on the vagina or descending through the vaginal opening. Pelvic organ prolapse can result in sexual dysfunction, fecal incontinence and urinary incontinence. 
                   
                  A common etiology of pelvic organ prolapse is vaginal delivery. Postmenopausal status can also be a causative factor, due to decreased estrogen output. Besides vaginal child birth, a lower level of estrogen can also lead to pelvic organ proplapse. Surgical removal of the uterus can also lead to pelvic organ prolapse. In older women, numerous medical conditions can cause strain on the pelvic floor resulting in pelvic organ prolapse.

                  There are many symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse. The most commons symptom is a feeling that there a pressure from the pelvic organs and the pelvic organs are pressing against the vaginal walls. Other symptoms include the feeling of objects falling out of the vagina or a full feeling in the lower belly. Sometimes the patient may feel a pull or stretch in the groin area or a pain in the lower back. Frequent urination or urinary incontinence is another symptom of pelvic organ prolapse. Women suffering from pelvic organ prolapse can also experience pain in the vagina during sex or suffering from fecal incontinence such as constipation.

                  The use of a pessary is a common method of treating pelvic organ prolapse. A pessary is a removable device that can be inserted into the vagina. It helps reduce the pain and pressure by holding the pelvic organs in place.  However this method of treatment might no be very helpful for patients suffering from severe pelvic organ prolapse. In such cases, surgery can be a treatment option. However surgery is not recommended for women who plan on getting pregnant. Even if the pelvic organ prolapse is corrected by surgery, the stress of child birth can cause it to reappear.

                    C.R. Bard Cases May Be Added to West Virginia MDL for Avaulta

                    Our team of lawyers have the privilege of representing women who have received both the C.R. Bard transvaginal mesh products (C.R. Bard Pelicol, PelviLace, PelviSovt, Pelvitex, Uretex and the Align products) and those from Avaulta, including the Avaulta Biosynthetic, the Avaulta Plus and the Avaulta Solo.

                    The Avaulta MDL is currently pending before Judge Joseph Goodwin in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. Twenty-nine cases involving C.R. Bard claims have been filed across the country, including in the South District of Indiana, the Northern District of Georgia and the Middle District of Florida. The plaintiffs in all of these cases allege that the mesh devices were defectively designed, manufactured and marketed, thereby causing serious injuries, and that the defendants failed to warn of the potential risks and dangers associated with the devices.

                    Procedurally, the 29 cases involving C.R. Bard claims are attempting to join the consolidated action in West Virginia. If they are permitted to do so, it will likely speed the resolution.

                    Our team of attorneys is reviewing case evaluations for women across the country who have received TVM and TVT products from manufactures such as C.R. Bard, Avaulta, Boston Scientific, and Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon.

                     The Problem

                    In 2008, the FDA first released concerns about the safety of transvaginal placement of mesh. From 2008 to 2010, the FDA received three to five times as many adverse reports associated with mesh used for pelvic organ prolapse repair than what agency received from 2005 to 2007 (nearly 1,000 reports of adverse events were received from 2005-2007).

                    Many of these patients complain because of erosion or contraction of the mesh material (which has been described as being of a similar material as Rubbermaid storage containers).  The erosion leads to bleeding, severe pelvic pain, painful (or impossible) sexual performance and a recurrence of urinary problems.

                    In July 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an update related to what it called ‘serious complications’ related to the use of vaginal mesh for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).  It is now known that complications linked to transvaginal placement of surgical mesh in SUI and POP patients are not rare and can require multiple surgeries to correct problems related to the use of surgical mesh. In fact, the FDA now says that additional surgeries may actually not be able to repair damage caused by implantation of the mesh.

                    In other words, the side effects of the mesh placement may be permanent.  These complications from transvaginal placement of surgical mesh include:

                    • -Erosion of the implanted mesh
                    • -Infection and/or bleeding
                    • -Pain, including pain during sexual intercourse
                    • -Problems with organs near the implantation site
