While trans vaginal meshes are manufactured by many different companies, the results are the same across all manufacturers-the mesh doesn’t work and causes serious complications for those who’ve had the unfortunate experience of having one surgically implanted. Medical devices companies such as C.R. Bard, Mentor, Boston Scientific, Gynecare (Johnson & Johnson), Covidien, Ethicon (J&J), and AMS all market these failed products.
If you or a loved one has experienced difficulties with a vaginal mesh, you should consult your physician. If you’re contemplating vaginal mesh surgery, talk to your doctor about alternatives. The data shows that these medical devices are causing more problems than they are solving.
