A Public Health Notification issued by the FDA in October 2008 is prompting calls for a Bard Avaulta transvaginal surgical mesh recall. The Public Health Notification advised consumers and health practitioners about serious complications associated with transvaginal placement of surgical mesh used to treat Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) and Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). Although the FDA reported having received more than 1,000 reports from nine surgical mesh manufacturers, including Bard Avaulta, of complications that were associated with these surgical mesh devices, no recall has been issued as of early 2009.
Bard Avaulta Surgical Mesh Recall Is Needed
Because no recall has been issued, many women continue to be implanted with Bard transvaginal surgical mesh. When these women experience complications, they are often unaware that the surgical mesh may be defective. Consequently, they may assume their health complications are unique and decline to have the mesh removed. A recall of the Bard surgical mesh would help avoid these problems.
