TVT mesh implant compensation settled

A woman who was left injured following the insertion of a TVT mesh implant that went wrong has won significant damages from the manufacturer. Sixty-four-year-old Linda Batiste filed a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson after its TVT-O sling eroded inside her body after it had been fitted for incontinence. This caused severe pain around the pelvis and lasting damage to the surrounding area. The jury at Dallas County Court heard that kind of mesh used was known to have a design defect and that a safer, more accurately cut alternative was available. Using this instead would have prevented or significantly reduced Linda's injury risk. The court decided that Linda should be paid $1.2 million in compensation, but her case is just one of tens-of-thousands of TVT mesh implant claims that have been lodged in the States, while there are many more pending in the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
