Vaginal mesh: New material which avoids serious injuries and side-effects discovered by scientists New material is more flexible and could even promote wound healing, but campaigners warn other implants left women with serious internal injuries.
Scientists claim to have created a flexible vaginal mesh implant which will not cause serious injuries of the kind caused by existing rigid models which left women with life-changing injuries.
The unfolding scandal over the use of plastic vaginal mesh implants, which had their approval for use in the NHS withdrawn by watchdogs in December, has led to international legal actionand the death of at least one woman.
Now scientists from the University of Sheffield have developed a new form of implant which they said avoids the harmful properties of earlier models while still being able to be surgically useful. The Independent
