![]() I myself have not received a pelvic mesh implant. I first became acquainted with the issues in 2009 and produced a series for Injuryboard called, Suffering in Silence, Part 1-4, where I interviewed many men and women who are suffering the effects of synthetic mesh used for hernia repair and female pelvic floor reconstruction. Patients, women, men, citizens deserve to have comprehensive fact-based reporting on these devices and medical procedures so they can have truly informed consent. Coverage includes information and perspective from the regulatory, industry and patient point of view, something that still appears to be under the radar of most major news organizations. Additionally, a user-friendly, accurate post-approval registry is long overdue to be able to spot trends in devices before many are harmed. I believe this is one of the most incredible public health issues of our day! The goal of Mesh Medical Device News Desk is to raise the public’s awareness on the use of surgical mesh to encourage doctors to apply critical thinking to the sale pitch of industries, usually through their sales reps and to have regulators require scientific data before putting on the market any implantable medical device. Imagine a permanent medical device that does not undergo the same scrutiny as drugs! Even if that device cannot be removed. As a result, patients become the post-market clinical trial subjects, and many suffer devastating and permanent injuries. MND is not a legal referral service and your email is never shared! The public is just now becoming aware that many medical devices do not undergo the same scrutiny as prescription drugs and are instead grandfathered in under an outdated FDA loophole that has gone largely unchanged since the 1970s.
