Europe, USA, Australia, Canada, NZ, Africa GLOBALLY most medical devices approved without trials Theyre cleared for use simply as theyre "similar' to something already on the market End result? Human catastrophe #Mesh Watch #TheBleedingEdge#Netflix @OwenSmith_MP @EmmaHardyMP
Glad to see mesh device use abolished in Ireland. So many women in great pain having to travel to UK for proper diagnosis and many surgeries to remove mesh remnants. https://t.co/cj3NIsQlPy
Pause on the use of the awful mesh device announced yesterday evening!! Couldn't have been achieved without the tireless effort of the women of Mesh Survivors Ireland, Power Solicitors and Louise O'Reilly!! #mesh#banmesh#meshsuspension#meshsurvivorsireland https://t.co/t9NOTCvGsB
@michellehtweet Well done michelle for your work highlighting this. When I became aware of this, I asked Chief Medical Officer to review use in Ireland. I met @meshsurvivorire & their stories & experiences had a major impact on me. In light of NHS review, we will now suspend use in Ireland
@SimonHarrisTD@meshsurvivorire Thank you Minister Harris for this courageous step. I was the first to tell my story last October in th https://t.co/MCpql6kAHB, little did I think that in less than a year it would be suspended. Thank you for listening to us.
@SimonHarrisTD@meshsurvivorire Thank you Minister for addressing this issue. I was one of the first to have mesh implant and was injured immediately. I lived in ignorance until last year when I went public. Please stop this practice, risks outweigh benefits.
Excellent meeting today with @meshsurvivorire . Really appreciate them telling their experiences. Determined to change this situation. Had ordered a review of practice in Ireland. Expect to receive that in next few weeks. Looking forward to working with this group
Surgical Mesh a quick, cheap fix that doesn’t require a lot of surgical skill, call it the “Gold Standard” and it’s fine. Government sponsored disability. #hernia#slingthemesh#meshperiod
