Women Who Say They Were Treated Like 'Guinea Pigs' Won A Class Action Over Pelvic Mesh Makers
Hundreds of women living in pain after they were fitted with transvaginal mesh devices have won a landmark class action case against Ethicon, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.began, the Federal Court's Justice Anna Katzmann handed down a searing judgement in which she found Ethicon had acted negligently, and that patients should be compensated.
"[Ethicon] were liable to compensate any applicant and/or group member who suffered an injury because of the defect for the amount of the loss and damage she sustained as a result of that injury," Katzmann said in an hour-long summary of."I also found that [Ethicon] engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct."
"The mesh had eroded and a piece of mesh was piercing the front wall of her vagina," Katzmann told the court, adding that Gill had undergone three surgeries to remove portions of the mesh."The complications of the mesh surgery have taken a great physical and emotional toll on her. She now lives with constant pelvic pain... sometimes the pain is so bad she struggles to breathe."
Blieschke had Ethicon's ProLift technology, a polypropylene mesh implant, inserted into her vaginal wall to treat a pelvic organ prolapse. The procedure was described by her doctor as minor, temporary and uncomplicated, but from the moment she woke up from her transvaginal mesh implant surgery in 2006,Blieschke said"no amount of compensation" would make up for the"pain and suffering" she, and other women, had suffered over the past decade.
