Hernia mesh implants used 'with no clinical evidence' "Too many" types of hernia mesh implants are being used on NHS patients with little or no clinical evidence, the BBC has been told.
New data shows more than 100 different types of mesh were purchased by NHS Trusts from 2012 to 2018 in England and Scotland, leading to fears over safety.
The meshes can cut into tissue and nerves, leaving some people unable to walk, work or care for children.
The regulator MHRA said there was a clinical need for the devices. BBC News
