This also follows years and years of women coming forward who are suffering complications that are linked to the mesh surgery they\u2019ve had. With some women left unable to walk or work ever again, the issues surrounding the use of vaginal mesh devices remains a huge matter.<\/p>\n<p>As a firm, we have been advising women for years about the legal action they can take.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the letter about the recall from the company reads as follows:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBD is committed to advancing the world of health. Our primary objectives are patient and user safety and providing you with quality products. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you and thank you in advance for helping us to execute this product removal as quickly and effectively as possible.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Devices that have yet to be used are to be quarantined and returned in accordance with the company\u2019s written instructions and guidance.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What about the patients who are affected by the Bard mesh recall?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We understand that patients affected by the Bard mesh recall don\u2019t need any further investigation or treatment (unless something goes wrong, we assume). A patient information leaflet has been produced, but there\u2019s currently no need for any revision surgery as a result of the recall that\u2019s taking place.<\/p>\n<p>It could be that there are some worries for patients who are affected by the recall. Many women who have been fitted with mesh implants are already worried in case something does eventually go wrong. With the kinds of problems that can occur leaving women with permanent problems, the concerns many have are understandable.<\/p>\n<p>We actually act for a number of women are making claims for compensation having been fitted with vaginal mesh devices. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themedicalnegligencelawyers.com\/serious-medical-negligence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Legal action is important<\/strong> <\/a>when something goes wrong given just how badly women can suffer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bard mesh recall has not only come into immediate effect, it also comes with the company ceasing production in the European market as well.
