Sofradim

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. For most women, these mesh patches can successfully treat incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse (POP), a condition in which the bladder, bowels and other lower abdominal organs fall out of place due to lack of support from the vaginal walls (or pelvic floor).

In rare cases, however, women can develop severe, potentially fatal transvaginal mesh side effects. To date, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received over 1,000 patient reports regarding serious transvaginal mesh injuries.

Brand Names of Harmful Sofradim Mesh Patches

The following are the specific brand names of Sofradim-made mesh patches that are known to cause serious injuries:

Pelvetex Polypropylene Mesh Patch
Uretex Pubovaginla Sling
Uretex Pubovaginla Support Kit
Uretex TO Avaulta BioSynthetic System

If you are thinking of using one of the above devices, be sure to talk to your doctor about:

your complete medical history
your risk of developing transvaginal mesh side effects
alternative options for treating your incontinence and/or POP

Women who opt for a mesh system implant should visit their doctors regularly to closely monitor their health.

Types of Transvaginal Mesh Injuries

Regardless of the specific type of transvaginal mesh system, women using these devices are at risk of developing any of the following side effects:

infection, which can spread to the blood and become life threatening
internal bleeding
internal punctures, particularly in the bladder, bowels and blood vessels
pain
renewed incontinence or POP
vaginal erosion, namely in the outer lining of the vagina (known as the epithelium)

Mesh patch users who develop the following symptoms will need emergency medical care to treat their severe transvaginal mesh injuries:

abdominal pain
blood in urine (hematuria)
chills
diarrhea
disorientation
fever
nausea and/or vomiting
rapid heartbeats
sweating
frequent, painful urination (or an inability to urinate despite persisting urges to do so)

Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits

Following medical treatment, affected women should meet with a personal injury lawyer who specializes in transvaginal mesh lawsuits. Most of these women will have a case against Sofradim and will be entitled to monetary compensation for their injuries.

To encourage injured women to pursue their cases, experienced transvaginal mesh lawyers:

Offer free consultations, during which prospective plaintiffs can find out if they have a provable legal claim
Work on contingency, meaning plaintiffs don't have to pay for legal services until they win their case.

Those who choose to pursue their case with the help of a transvaginal mesh lawyer will benefit from:

A network of experts that can help them prove their case, as most attorneys have established connections with medical professionals who can verify health problems when expert testimony is needed
Help dealing with Sofradim's corporate lawyers
Professional representation in court, mediation and/or arbitration
