Over 100 Women in England Secure Compensation for Vaginal Mesh Complications

First successful group claim against manufacturers highlights years of pain and suffering endured by affected women.

The settlement involves manufacturers Johnson & Johnson, Bard, and Boston Scientific, with payouts expected to reach millions of pounds.
The implants, used for stress urinary incontinence and prolapse, caused severe complications including chronic pain and organ perforations.
Many women underwent additional surgeries to remove the mesh, with some still suffering ongoing issues.
Strict 10-year time limits prevented many other affected women from claiming compensation.
Campaigners call for government action to extend time limits and provide broader financial redress.
