Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion
Ms Mary McLaughlin:
There is a problem with data collection for the women who are now trying to get medical records in order to find out which implants they have. There are three or four main types, and many different products. Not every product is identical. Surgeons need to know which product they are removing. When many women look at their medical records, the implant sticker, which is meant to be adhered to the surgical sticker sheet, is missing.
