Please forgive my lack of knowledge about this product. But are vaginal mesh implants sold over the counter ? I would imagine that before these are implanted in a woman,she would have to see her gynecologist. Would it be done by the doctor or by the patient ? I can't think that it would need to have a warning like a black box notice. I mean it is made for one purpose & nothing else.
In this litigious society that we live in,we can't live without drugs or medical products. But like erectile dysfunctional pills that were made for a particular problem but can be prescribed to a 20 year old boy. We should have tougher regulations that would cause the lawyers & ambulance chasers a more difficult way to take from the drug companies & maybe even keep costs for all manufactures more reasonable !
