Pelvic Mesh Claims Guide
How to file a transvaginal mesh claim.
Identify Your Mesh Product
Obtain surgical records identifying the mesh manufacturer and product. Major defendants include Johnson & Johnson (Ethicon), Boston Scientific, C.R. Bard, and Coloplast.
Document Your Injuries
Gather medical records documenting complications: erosion, chronic pain, infections, organ damage. Include all specialist visits and diagnostic imaging.
Record All Surgeries
Document revision surgeries for mesh removal or repair. Full removal, partial removal, and multiple surgeries have different settlement values.
Calculate Total Damages
Document all medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and impact on quality of life. Include ongoing care needs and future medical costs.
Consult a Mesh Attorney Immediately
Most MDLs have resolved but some state cases continue. An experienced attorney can evaluate if you still have options for compensation.
