The key points are:🔷Widespread Complications: Transvaginal mesh devices have led to significant complications for many women, 🔸including chronic pain,🔸 infection, 🔸organ perforation, and 🔸psychological distress.🔷 These problems emerged years after the devices were introduced, highlighting a failure in pre-market testing and post-market surveillance.🔷Regulatory Failures: The article critiques the regulatory process for #medicaldevices, particularly in the UK and EU, where many #mesh products were approved based on equivalence to older devices rather than rigorous clinical trials. In the US, the FDA initially classified these devices as 🔸moderate risk but later reclassified them as 🔸high risk in 2016 after reports of harm.🔷Delayed Response: Despite early warnings from patient groups and some clinicians, regulatory bodies and manufacturers were slow to act. Bans or restrictions on #mesh use came only after significant harm had already occurred, with some countries like the UK issuing a temporary ban in 2018 (after this article's publication).🔷Lessons for Improvement: The authors argue for stricter #Regulation of implantable devices, including:🔸Mandatory clinical trials before approval.🔸Improved post-market monitoring to detect problems earlier.🔸Greater transparency from manufacturers about risks and adverse events.🔸Centralized registries to track patient outcomes.🔷Patient Impact: The article emphasizes the human cost of these failures, with many women left with life-altering injuries and a sense of being dismissed by the #healthcare system

it is poor form, utilising tactics the system uses far too often:
slow responses, silence, or deflection in the hope that patients will eventually give up under the weight of protracted complaints.
Patients don’t have secretaries & their families are worn down by the decades of fighting -
fighting alone whilst ill is further catastrophising events that are already traumatic enough

Mesh injured need to amplify calls for a statutory public inquiry into mesh harms, including so far unrecognized chronic illnesses from foreign body reactions.

I noticed my neighbour in extreme pain today
He told me he had a hernia op 3 weeks ago - he was ok initially but now he can’t cope with the #pain
I asked if he’d had #mesh and he said yes….. my heart missed a beat 💔
It is just beyond belief that mesh is still being used for #hernias even though they know it could cripple the patient for life
It really is time to bin #permanent #plastic #mesh #medicaldevices - IT IS TOO DANGEROUS

#pelvicmesh injury & harm at catastrophic levels was not consented to occur
“Current symptom interrogation usually includes
🔹pain symptoms
🔹mobility issues
🔹vaginal discharge or bleeding
🔹urinary symptoms with particular focus on continence
🔹storage and voiding symptoms or other relevant infections
🔹sexual dysfunction, including hispareunia (pain or injury to the partner).”ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
👆 2020 study on #mesh injuries
WHY?
The ‘studies’ should have been completed BEFORE it was signed off by #MHRA - there is no consent submitted by #patients
In other words we are the study -
Gate shut after the horse has bolted is not science !!!
Non of us have consented to being part of a ‘commerce’ led study where we were brutally harmed for learning purposes !!!

Spain investigates contamination of Atlantic shore ....Millions of plastic pellets wash up on coast. But it's OKAY to Permanently Embed Millions of Men & Women with Pieces of Polypropylene/Synthetic Plastic Surgical Mesh and Call it a 'Gold Standard' Treatment. Nonsensical

#Disability
#mesh is a plethora of disabilities
A device the @NICEComms now state should only be used as a last resort due to the catastrophic injuries it has caused
Brave Campaigners brought about this decision by using their voices
For us it was not a last resort - #mesh was shoved in as a first resort even though doctors knew it was causing harm
No consent

Susan said: "Compensation [#mesh] is needed now. We have been left in terrible suffering for decades but sadly many may not be able to last the long haul.
If patients are not compensated very soon I believe a full public inquiry should occur based on a full audit of mesh removal centres to add further evidence as to what went wrong.

Devon Live #mesh scandal
£1m payout in scandal that has made Devon women's' lives hell
Compensation is being demanded now for all victims of the vaginal mesh scandal that has left many women in Devon suffering harm that was avoidable
Susan said: "Compensation is needed now. We have been left in terrible suffering for decades but sadly many may not be able to last the long haul. If patients are not compensated very soon I believe a full public inquiry should occur based on a full audit of mesh removal centres to add further evidence as to what went wrong.
"A friend and I who had bowel mesh surgery recently spoke at great length to the Patient Safety Commissioner Redress Project Team [to explore redress options for those who have been harmed by pelvic mesh and sodium valproate] with regards to compensation.
We are concerned that time is passing since the Cumberlege Review [The Independent Medicines & Medical Devices Safety Review] and that the government is dragging its heels and momentum is being lost. Most mesh-injured ladies are now so poorly and so disheartened they cannot continue the fight.
"The government has used the excuse that we can get a solicitor and make our own claims, but this is an exhausting and adversarial process where many claims have been dropped at the point of time limitations end, and one legal firm, Fortiude Law has charges of misconduct against it.
The dropping of claims or advice to settle for a pittance under threat of costs is what these poorly injured women are having to deal with.
"The mesh harm was accepted by the government and Matt Hancock [former UK health secrtary] issued an apology on behalf of the government in 2020 for the decades it has taken all of us mesh injured to be heard. He agreed with Baroness Cumberlege that it was a scandal.
"He admitted mesh injuries and the inability for us to be heard was a mistake; we did not consent to mistakes. We trusted what we were being told and that has turned out to be catastrophically wrong.

‘#Patientsafety is being put at risk by the “toxic” behaviour of doctors in the #NHS, the health ombudsman has said.
Rob Behrens, who investigates complaints about the NHS in England, warned that the hierarchical and high-handed attitude of clinicians was undermining the quality of care in some hospitals.’
‘He called for medical training to be redesigned to encourage a more empathetic and collaborative approach from doctors.’
Thousands of injured #patients can attest to this toxic behaviour - there certainly does need to be changes that reinstate #ethics #morals #decency good manners, respect , #care
#mesh injured patients were ignored over & over & over again when they returned crying/screaming in agony - we were ignored - laughed at - gaslighted - fobbed off - left to suffer for decades in the most appalling & offensive way & then to top it all off medical records were tampered with & #solicitors dropped their claims -
there certainly does need to be change and a
