The transvaginal mesh used in a surgery to treat pelvic organ prolapsed (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI) may have been made by any one of several different manufacturers. The manufacturers responsible for most of the transvaginal mesh implants on the market in recent years include the following companies.
Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon Women’s Health & Urology Division produces many medical devices used in surgeries to treat a wide range of urological conditions and women’s reproductive health problems, including pelvic organ prolapse and urinary stress incontinence. The company’s transvaginal mesh implants have been sold under several different brand names. These include Ethicon TVT, Gynecare TVT, Gynemesh PS, Prolene Polypropylene Mesh Patch, and Secur.
