COMPLICATIONS FROM GYNECARE PROLIFT AND BARD AVAULTA MESH PRODUCTS
If you have had a Gynecare Prolift prolene mesh or Bard Avaulta mesh product placed in your body for pelvic floor repair or urinary incontinence, and have suffered complications, you may have a viable product liability claim against the manufacturers of those products. Ethicon, which is a division of Johnson & Johnson manufacturers the Gynecare Prolift and C.R. Bard, Inc. manufactures the Bard Avaulta. The known complications include, but are not limited to, mesh erosion, mesh shrinkage, infection, granuloma formation, dyspareunia (pain with sexual relations) and neuropathic pain. The failure of the Gynecare Prolift and Bard Avaulta mesh products can lead to the need for multiple operations to remove the mesh, and can result in additional severe injuries such as scar tissue, neuropathic pain and urinary problems. These problems have recently been recognized by the FDA in Public Health Notifications issued in October 2008 and February 2009, in which over 1000 reports and complaints regarding mesh products were lodged.
