$1.6+ billion in settlements and $240+ million verdicts have been claimed for women since 2011. New scientific studies reveal that the polypropylene used in mesh products degrades within 60 days scattering debris in surrounding tissues. The Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials has released a study ahead of publication about the mismatch of using mesh polypropylene in sheep tissue resulting in substantial physical damage, inflammation, and persistent pain.  The FDA banned some vaginal mesh medical devices in 2019, while other pelvic mesh and bladder slings remain on the market. Major medical clinics and university affiliated medical institutions have published articles and scientific studies on bladder sling and pelvic mesh complications and alternative treatments, as follows:

1. Comparing Autologous and Mesh Slings for Stress Incontinence Efficacy and Safety – Ariana Smith
2. Cleveland Clinic –  Mesh Problems and Complications
3. University of Texas – Southwestern Medical: FDA Ban on Transvaginal Mesh
4. Mayo Clinic – Mesh in Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery
5. University of Miami Health: Mesh Complications

Transvaginal Mesh Verdicts

Most of the bladder sling and pelvic mesh verdicts ranging from $120,000,000 to $0 involved women with multiple complex implant removal/revision surgeries resulting in lifelong injuries with juries awarding compensatory and punitive damages. Note that jury verdicts may be reversed, remanded, reduced or appealed by the losing parties and settled for amounts less than the jury awards.

From 2011 to the present, over 100,000 pelvic mesh claims of defective products causing injuries have been resolved. Settlements and verdicts involving multimillions have been made with many pelvic mesh products taken off the market. We are accepting cases of certain defective pelvic mesh and bladder sling products that have been surgically removed or revised.
