>> BLAS:: How then can a woman who suspects transvaginal mesh failure find out?
>> NATIONS:: Well actually, its complicated because there are numerous manufacturers with
numerous products and they first thing we have to do is product identification so that
we'll know which manufacturer we are dealing with. And it can be even more complicated
than that with revision surgeries because it is possible that you have a manufacturer of
a transvaginal mesh that was put in initially, taken out and revision and a different one
from a different manufacturer was put in its place. And when you get into three and four
and five revisions, this can be very complicated. The way we find out is we take a
medical authorization from you, we obtain your medical records, and we look in the
medical records to find out the exact location of the bar code. Because there is supposed
to be a bar code that is taken directly off of the product. So we go through the process
of identifying the bar code, identifying the manufacturer and then finding out exactly
who the defendant in your case will be because the case is handled differently depending
upon who the defendant is. So by obtaining your medical records, we can answer the
question for those of you who are not sure if you have a transvaginal mesh problem or if
you even have a transvaginal mesh in place. We can find that out for you by obtaining
your medical records and determining A. Do you have a transvaginal mesh, B. Who is the
manufacturer of it, and C. Is this the source of your difficulties? We have doctors who
analyze these records with us so we can determine exactly what your problem is and
exactly who caused it.
