Mentor ObTape Lawsuits

The ObTape vaginal sling, which was manufactured and designed by Mentor Corporation, was used in about 35,000 women between 2003 and 2006 to treat female stress urinary incontinence. The bladder sling is designed to prevent involuntary leakage that occurs where the pelvic muscles that support the bladder and urethra are weakened. This frequently happens during laughing, crying, sneezing or under exertion.

As a result of what some have called a defective design, the Mentor Ob Tape Sling can cause serious injuries including:

• Vaginal Pain
• Pelvic Pain
• Pain During Sex
• Chronic Infections
• Bleeding

A study published in the Journal of Urology in October 2006 highlighted the risk of complications associated with the ObTape sling. More than 13% of the women who received the Mentor Sling for incontinence suffered vaginal extrusions, and additional cases were reported of women who suffered chronic vaginal discharge and abscesses. Many women who received the ObTape Vaginal Sling have experienced serious problems requiring extensive surgery to remove the tape, and now suffer permanent injury which may have been prevented if a different bladder sling was used..
