The Uphold Vaginal Support system is currently marked by Boston Scientific with the tagline “Mesh only where it’s needed.” The device is implanted intra-vaginally and is supposed to reduce the risk of mesh erosion and other transvaginal mesh side effects and complications. Unfortunately, the United States Food and Drug Administration has announced that mesh erosion and other mesh adverse events are not specifically linked to any particular brand or model of mesh device. This means that the Boston Scientific Uphold Vaginal Support System, which uses Polyform Synthetic mesh, still poses a risk of bladder sling erosion to patients who are treated with the device for vaginal wall prolapse (a type of pelvic organ prolapse). Boston Scientific Corporation is currently the subject of multiple personal injury and product liability lawsuit claims regarding their various mesh products.

FDA Uphold Mesh System Warning

Transvaginal mesh (like Boston Scientific’s Uphold) used for the surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse, is currently an area of serious ongoing concern for the United States Food and Drug Administration. These products are known to cause a variety of serious and life-altering complications; many of these complications have been described as “not rare.” In the last several years, nearly 3000 claims of negative events have been reported to the FDA regarding mesh vaginal slings. Many lawsuits have also been filed by the women who suffered these injuries because they did not feel they were adequately warned regarding the existence of, nor the severity of these complications.

Boston Scientific Mesh Sling Complications

When you are treated with the Boston Scientific Uphold Vaginal Support System (or other transvaginal mesh product), there are a variety of negative events that can occur. The most common is called mesh erosion, and it requires a revision surgery to correct. Despite undergoing a second surgery, some women never fully regain their prior quality of life. In addition to mesh erosion (also called extrusion, protrusion, and exposure), mesh recipients also reported: bleeding, infection, pelvic pain, Dyspareunia, emotional problems, vaginal shrinking/scarring, and various other symptoms. Mesh injuries can require many expensive types of medical attention including: hospitalization, IV therapy, and even blood transfusions.

The Pinnacle Family of Pelvic Floor Repair Kits was introduced by Boston Scientific in order to repair a variety of various pelvic floor defects, including pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Using both level 1 and level 2 support, Pinnacle kit transvaginal mesh devices create additional support for pelvic organs that have sunk due to weakened tissues. Boston Scientific also offers several other varieties of transvaginal mesh products aimed to help strengthen tissue and treat POP as well as stress urinary incontinence. In addition to Boston Scientific Corporation, three other major companies also design, manufacture, and market mesh: Ethicon (a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary), C. R. Bard, and American Medical Systems. It is unfortunate, however all of these mesh devices have become the subject of lawsuit claims after it was discovered that they could result in serious side effects and injuries, like mesh erosion.

Boston Scientific Pinnacle Mesh Erosion

Mesh erosion is one of the most frequent and commonly experienced transvaginal mesh complication according to reports and warnings from the United States Food and Drug Administration. According to an updated FDA safety communication in 2008, when mesh is used to treat pelvic organ prolapse, this complication is “not rare.” Other names for mesh erosion include: mesh extrusion, mesh protrusion, and mesh exposure. These names come from the fact that the mesh grinds through the vaginal walls and is then “exposed.” Pinnacle erosion requires a revision surgery in order to retrieve the device from the body, but is in some cases untreatable if the mesh breaks down into smaller pieces.

Additional Pinnacle Pelvic Floor Repair Kit Side Effects

Many of the injuries that can result from transvaginal mesh surgery require further hospitalization and multiple more surgeries. In addition to mesh exposure, patients treated for POP with mesh have experienced:

• Vaginal Bleeding
• Vaginal Scarring
• Vaginal Discharge
• Pelvic Pain (worse during sexual intercourse)
• Emotional problems
• Vaginal Shrinkage
• Organ perforation (of bladder, bowels, etc)

Recent studies as well as FDA adverse event reports have linked transvaginal mesh surgery for stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse to high risks of complications, like mesh erosion. Medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific is one of four major companies that develops and distributes this problematic type of transvaginal mesh. One such model is called the Solyx SIS System, which is a sling made of Advantage Mesh and is used to treat stress urinary incontinence. Unfortunately, the Solyx System as well as all other transvaginal mesh product can result in serious complications that can require hospitalization and revision surgeries. In many patients, even a second surgery cannot fully fix the problem of mesh erosion, and the quality of life for the victim is permanently diminished.

Other Boston Scientific Transvaginal Mesh Products

The Solyx SIS System is not the only mesh device that has been developed and created by the Boston Scientific Corporation. Currently, Boston Scientific has all of the following mesh products available for the treatment of either pelvic organ prolapse, stress urinary incontinence and/or vaginal wall prolapse:

• Advantage Fit System
• Advantage Transvaginal Mid-Urethral Sling System
• Lynx Suprapubic Mid-Urethral Sling System
• Obtryx Transobturator Mid-Urethral Sling System
• Pinnacle Pelvic Floor Repair Kit
• Pinnacle Posterior Pelvic Floor Repair Kit
• Prefyx PPS System
• Solyx SIS System
• Uphold Vaginal Support System

Boston Scientific Solyx FDA Warning

In January of 2012, the United States Food and Drug Administration is considering that transvaginal surgical mesh be reclassified from Class II to Class III when used in treatment for stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. This decision was based on information collected from adverse event reports of vaginal mesh complications, medical literature published on the subject, as well as the September 2011 meeting of the Obstetrics-Gynecology Devices Panel. Furthermore, the FDA has mandated postmarket studies the manufacturers of transvaginal mesh used in both SUI and POP treatment. As soon as further information is discovered regarding Boston Scientific Solyx and other devices, the FDA will make it available to the public.

In the last couple of years, the United States Food and Drug has delivered multiple statements regarding bladder slings and other transvaginal mesh products. These FDA warnings have come as the result of reports of thousands of injuries in relation to transvaginal mesh treatment. Complications from mesh, including the Prefyx PPS system, can permanently reduce the quality of life and are sometimes untreatable even with multiple revision surgeries. Many women file lawsuits against the large medical device corporations, like Boston Scientific, that are profiting from these defectively designed and potentially dangerous products.

What is the Boston Scientific Prefyx PPS System?

The Prefyx PPS (Pre-pubic System) if a transvaginal mesh sling offered by Boston Scientific for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Stress Urinary Incontinence, or SUI, is a loss of bladder control during daily action that affects many women after childbirth. The Prefyx PPS sling is placed outside of the pelvic bowl in order to provide extra bladder support and eliminate urine loss. However, treatment of SUI with transvaginal mesh is known to pose additional risks to a patient despite the fact that it demonstrates no significant benefit over other treatment options. The injuries experienced by many women even compel them to file lawsuits against the company that manufactured and marketed the device, like the Boston Scientific Corporation.

Prefyx PPS Sling Complications

Although the transvaginal mesh implants are supposed to be a permanent surgical solution to repair weakened tissue, the FDA has found it to be a source of serious medical complications, some of which are irreversible. The following symptoms indicate that you may be suffering from bladder sling side effects:

• Reoccurrence of Stress Urinary Incontinence
• Bleeding and/or discharge from vagina
• Vaginal pain and/or scarring (could be due to mesh contraction or mesh erosion)
• Neuro-muscular problems
• Urinary/Bowel malfunctions
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Infections and/or abscesses
• Pelvic and/or lower back pain

Lawsuits have been filed against medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific in regard to several of its transvaginal mesh sling products, including the Lynx Supra pubic Mid-Urethral Sling System. Other mesh devices from Boston Scientific that have been linked to vaginal mesh complications are:

• Advantage Fit
• Advantage Transvaginal Mid-Urethral Sling System
• Obtryx Transobturator Mid-Urethral Sling System
• Prefyx PPS System
• Solyx SIS System
• Pinnacle Pelvic Floor Repair
• Uphold Vaginal Support System

In addition to Boston Scientific, three other major medical device companies are also the subject of transvaginal mesh lawsuits. These three other manufacturers are Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon, C. R. Bard, and American Medical Systems.

What is Boston Scientific Lynx?

The Lynx Suprapubic Mid-Urethral Sling System was created by Boston Scientific in order to treat the problem of stress urinary incontinence, or SUI. Stress urinary incontinence refers to a circumstance in which urine leaks during activities like laughing, sneezing, or physical exercise. The Lynx Sling System uses Advantage Mesh to create a sling that supports the urethra to prevent leakage. However, transvaginal mesh slings (like Lynx) are known to pose added risks with no additional benefits in comparison with other treatment options for SUI. Despite being billed as “minimally invasive,” vaginal mesh implants have resulted in thousands adverse events that have been reported to the FDA.

Boston Scientific Lynx Transvaginal Mesh Complications

The FDA has issued warnings regarding the complications that can arise due to mesh bladder sling surgery. Among these various complications, the most common is called mesh erosion. Transvaginal mesh erosion is highly painful and requires revision surgery to treat. In a large number of patients, multiple surgeries cannot fully resolve the issue. Other common Lynx Mesh sling side effects are vaginal bleeding, vaginal scarring/shrinkage, infections, and pain during intimacy. Although these are the most common bladder sling problems, other women have also reported emotional problems, neuro-muscular difficulty, and urinary problems. Lawsuit claims have been filed citing many of these various adverse effects.

Earlier this year, a Georgia woman filed a lawsuit against the Boston Scientific Corporation, a company that develops, creates, and markets medical devices worldwide. The lawsuit was in relation to one of the companies transvaginal mesh slings used for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Currently the company makes several different models of this type of device, including the Obtryx Transobturator Mid-Urethral Sling. The Georgia plaintiff claimed that the mesh material that comprised the sling created serious complications, and she is seeking financial damages for the physical, emotional, and financial distress that the product has caused. There are currently a large number of vaginal mesh lawsuits being filed against Boston Scientific as well as the three other major companies that manufacture this type of surgical mesh: American Medical Systems, C. R. Bard, and Johnson & Johnson Ethicon.

Obtryx Sling Complications

After treatment with a transvaginal mesh sling, many patients experience a variety of complications. In a less than three year period, the United States Food and Drug Administration received nearly 3000 adverse event reports related to the Obtryx Mid-Urethral sling as well as other transvaginal bladder sling devices. These reports cited bleeding, mesh erosion, reoccurrence of SUI/pelvic organ prolapse, painful sexual intercourse, and even organ perforation as bladder sling side effects. Many patients, like the woman in Georgia, undergo second surgeries in order to remove the implant. However, even after a revision surgery, some women continue to suffer.

Boston Scientific Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits

Due to the escalating medical expenses and emotional distress, some women choose to hire a vaginal mesh lawyer and pursue bladder sling litigation. In a Boston Scientific Obtryx Transobturator Sling lawsuit, the plaintiff usually claims that the company who created the product was negligent, defective in their design, and failed to adequately warn the patient of potential complications. Typically, these lawsuits seek to secure compensation for expenses as well as punitive damages.

A woman in Pennsylvania recently filed a lawsuit against Boston Scientific Corporation alleging that one of their products, the Advantage Fit System, caused her serious physical complications. The woman was treated with the transvaginal mesh product in 2009 to help with her issue of stress urinary incontinence, an involuntary urine leakage problem that affects many women. According to her mesh lawsuit claim, the woman began to experience pain, bleeding, and extreme discomfort during intercourse shortly following her initial Advantage Fit SUI treatment. These complications related to transvaginal mesh have been described as “not rare,” by the US Food and Drug Administration in various safety communications and warnings. The Pennsylvania Boston Scientific Advantage Fit Lawsuit plaintiff underwent a transvaginal mesh revision surgery in 2010, but continued to experience mesh complications including: stomach pain, bleeding, and infections. As a result of these continuing discomforts as well as the medical expenses required for treatment, a mesh erosion lawsuit claim was filed.

Boston Scientific Advantage Fit FDA Warning

In October of 2008, the United States Food and Drug Administration alerted the public to the complications connected to transvaginal mesh surgery for pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. In the three years prior to the FDA mesh warning, over one thousand adverse event reports were filed in relation to surgical mesh. Between 2008-2010, this number grew closer to 3000. When another FDA transvaginal mesh warning was made in 2010, vaginal mesh complications and mesh erosion were named as “an area of continuing serious concern.” The FDA is still collecting data and reviewing studies regarding Boston Scientific Advantage Fit as well as all other transvaginal mesh sling devices.

Boston Scientific Advantage Fit Complications

• Mesh erosion (when the mesh protrudes through vaginal walls)
• Vaginal Pain
• Mesh contraction (when the mesh shrinks)
• Organ perforation (can occur during surgery)
• Pain during intercourse
• Reoccurrence of SUI and/or POP
• Vaginal Scarring
• Emotional problems

When a woman suffers from stress urinary incontinence, daily activities (like sneezing, exercising, and laughing) can result in involuntary bladder leakage. Although this problem is the most common type of urinary incontinence, it creates distress and negatively affects the quality of life for the women it afflicts. Boston Scientific developed the Advantage Transvaginal Mid-Urethral sling as a treatment for SUI that uses a mesh sling implant to create additional support for the bladder and urethra. In doing so, it aims to reduce and/or eliminate bladder leakage. Unfortunately, transvaginal mesh sling implants have been linked to many serious complications by the FDA. Many of these transvaginal mesh side effects require hospitalization, medical intervention, and even revision surgery. As a result, multiple lawsuit claims have been filed against Boston Scientific and the other companies that manufacture these devices.

Advantage Transvaginal Sling Erosion

The transvaginal mesh complication most frequently reported to the FDA’s MedWatch program is called mesh erosion. Mesh erosion is also called mesh exposure and mesh protrusion; it occurs when the Advantage Transvaginal Sling (or other mesh device) painfully wears down the vaginal walls. In the event of mesh extrusion, a patient will need to have a second surgery in order to retrieve the bladder sling. Lamentably, many patients still experience the pain and other symptoms of mesh erosion following their revision surgery. Because the mesh breaks down into smaller pieces, many times the mesh implant can never be fully retrieved from inside the body.

Other Transvaginal Mesh Complications

Advantage Transvaginal Sling erosion is only one of several complications reported to the Food and Drug Administration. Between 2008 and 2010, nearly three thousand reports were made regarding transvaginal mesh complications. Among the reports, there were incidents of:

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Emotional Problems
• Vaginal Scarring
• Dyspareunia
• Pain
• Neuro-muscular Problems

Many of these Advantage Sling complications necessitate expensive medical treatment, including IV therapy, revision surgery, and blood transfusions. Because these treatments can escalate quickly in cost, a bladder sling lawsuit can financially help a victim a great deal.

In the wake of several FDA safety communications in regards to the increased risks of side effects associated with transvaginal mesh surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), many of the victims of transvaginal mesh injuries have filed lawsuit claims against the manufacturers of such devices, including Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon division. Ethicon currently manufactures and markets the following Gynecare TVT (transvaginal tape) products for Stress Urinary Incontinence:

• Gynecare TVT Abbrevo Continence System
• Gynecare TVT Exact Continence System
• Gynecare Secur System
• Gynecare TVT Obturator System Tension-Free Support for Incontinence
• Gynecare TVT Retropubic System Tension-Free Support for Incontinence

What is Ethicon TVT?

Johnson & Johnson Ethicon TVT is a surgical mesh product inserted transvaginally for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence by providing additional support for the urethra. In a person not affected with SUI, the urethra is held by the pelvic floor muscles, which prevent involuntary urine loss. However, a woman with Stress Urinary Incontinence will have weakened muscles that cannot keep the urethra in its typical and functional position. Ethicon Gynecare TVT is a piece of mesh that is inserted under the urethra in order to help it stay in place and prevent involuntary leakage in the event of a cough, laugh, or sneeze as well as during physical exercise. Unfortunately, Ethicon TVT mesh has been linked to several serious complications ranging from infections and discharge, to mesh erosion and vaginal scarring.

Ethicon Transvaginal Mesh Erosion

Many patients who are treated with Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon TVT or other mesh devices experience a painful complication referred to as mesh erosion. Other names for this transvaginal mesh injury are “mesh protrusion” and “mesh exposure,” and it occurs when the transvaginal tape bladder sling is not incorporated into surrounding body tissues and is expelled through the vaginal walls. Mesh erosion can only be treated with a second surgery (called a revision surgery) aimed to remove the mesh bladder sling device. However, in many cases, the TVT breaks into smaller pieces and can never be fully removed.

Johnson & Johnson Gynemesh PS is a PS Nonabsorbable Prolene Soft Mesh used to treat patient who suffer from vaginal wall prolapse, a type of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP). When a woman has vaginal wall is weakened, the result can be that pelvic organs sink lower than their normal placement and can even protrude through the vagina. Gynemesh works to reinforce weak tissue and strengthen the pelvic floor by providing mechanical support and acting as a bridging material. Unfortunately Johnson & Johnson Gynemesh as well as all other varieties of transvaginal surgical mesh has been warned against recently by the US Food and Drug Administration. It is believed that transvaginal mesh bladder slings have much higher rates of injury and complication when compared with other treatment options. Furthermore, vaginal mesh does not appear to provide any clear benefit over these other pelvic organ prolapse treatments. As a result, many personal injury lawsuit claims have been filed against the four major manufacturers of transvaginal mesh devices: Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon, Boston Scientific, American Medical Systems, and C. R. Bard.

Gynecare Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit Claims

When a patient is harmed or experiences injury as the result of a medical device or surgical treatment like Gynemesh, often they will file a lawsuit claim. In the case of Gynemesh, a lawsuit would most likely be filed against the manufacturer of the device, Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon. This transvaginal mesh lawsuit claim would assert that the company did not adequately test their product and warn the consumer of all of the potential risks associated with using the product. Many women who experience transvaginal mesh side effects and complications find both their quality of life as well as their ability to work and earn an income negatively affected, and a bladder sling lawsuit settlement can help offset some of the corresponding financial challenges.

Johnson & Johnson Gynemesh Complications

If you experience any of the following symptoms following transvaginal mesh surgery, contact your physician because you may be experiencing mesh erosion (also called mesh protrusion and mesh exposure) or another bladder sling complication.

• Pelvic Pain
• Vaginal Pain (worse during intercourse)
• Lower Back Pain
• Vaginal Bleeding
• Discharge from Vagina
• Infection
• Reoccurrence of pelvic organ prolapse/vaginal wall prolapse
• Urinary Problems
