Devices are to be quarantined immediately, and relevant parties are to be made aware. A patient information sheet has been produced, but the company insists that the devices do not need to be removed, and additional action doesn\u2019t need to be taken with patients.<\/p>\n<p>In their letter, they say:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBD is committed to advancing the world of health.

We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you and thank you in advance for helping us to execute this product removal as quickly and effectively as possible.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The recall is said to involve all of Bard\u2019s urogynaecology mesh devices. it\u2019s understood that Bard wants to stop production as opposed to investing further resources to meet EU requirements.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What now for the patients affected by the Bard mesh recall?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Patients who are caught up in the voluntary Bard mesh recall are being told that they do not require any additional medical attention.<\/p>\n<p>However, if anyone suffers from any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaginalmeshlawyers.co.uk\/mesh-implant-complications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>mesh implant complications or problems<\/strong><\/a>, they should seek advice.<\/p>\n<p>We know from experience that many women do suffer complications from mesh implants generally.
