Sofradim, a Massachusetts-based medical device company, has recently gained national attention due to the injuries that some women have experienced after using its transvaginal mesh patch systems.
Transvaginal mesh devices are surgically implanted systems that support vaginal walls damaged by injury, surgery and/or childbirth.
