I have surgical mesh from a bladder "sling" surgery. How do I know whether the mesh I have is the subject of any safety concerns?

A: Some women who have certain types of mesh used for bladder "sling" surgery have reported serious and painful medical complications. If you are experiencing medical problems following bladder "sling" surgery and want to know whether any of your medical problems are related to the surgical mesh used, you should schedule an appointment to visit with your doctor about this. There are many manufacturers of surgical mesh and many different models of the product. Some of the products that have come under scrutiny lately, include:

Adjust Sling
Align Support System
Pelvilace
Advantage Systems
Obtryx System
Prefyx System
Solyx System
Gynecare TVT Line of products

If you received one of these products, and your doctor has determined that your serious medical complications are related to a surgical mesh product, you should contact an experienced defective medical device attorney to discuss your particular situation and learn whether you may have a case against the manufacturer of your specific product.
