Thousands of women in the UK have been fitted with a Transvaginal Mesh (TVM) implant since January 2010, a device manufactured by pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson.
The implant, used to treat medical conditions such as Stress Urinary Incontinence and Pelvic Organ Prolapse, is known to erode, disintegrate and degrade. The product has caused thousands of women to suffer from debilitating pelvic pain and other complications. Facing limited treatment options, many women have endured additional surgeries to remove the implant.
Pogust Goodhead seeks to hold TVM manufacturers to account for their failure to properly research and test the device on behalf of thousands of women affected in the UK. Johnson & Johnson have already compensated women in Scotland for causing pain and suffering.
Similarly, TVM lawsuits continue to be settled in the United States, surpassing more than 100,000 with millions of dollars awarded. We are bringing this expertise to the UK to help women across the world get justice.
If you think you have been implanted with this device, check if you can make a claim.
We want to help raise awareness of the issues caused by this product and make sure those affected can seek compensation.
