PURPOSE AND INFORMATION ON OUR PETITION - UK
Urgent Review on TVT, TVT-Secur, TVTO & TOT Medical Devices including Synthetic Flat Graft Surgical Mesh
Target:The Prime Minister Rt Hon David Cameron MP and Health Secretary Andrew Lansley MP
Commenced:23 January 2011
Sponsored by:TVT Messed up Mesh (TVT Mum)
We want the TVT, TVT-O and TOT medical devices and mesh grafts for hernia repairs, stress incontinence, prolapse, bladder and bowel disorders to be stopped and taken off the market.
Article: Serious Concerns with our Surgeons in the UK and the Lax Support from the Governing Bodies NICE and the MHRA
An urgent review is required on the medical devices TVT, TVTO, TOT and the use of mesh graft for hernia repair surgery plus the Governing Bodies NICE and the MHRA who regulate these medical devices.
Document PDF: www.tvt-messed-up-mesh.org.uk/pdfs/serious_concerns.pdf
The polypropylene surgical synthetic mesh used in the medical devices is the source of the problem and we want this surgery stopped. Many people around the UK are finding it extremely difficult to contact an experienced surgeon to treat mesh related complications and unfortunately many inexperienced surgeons are going ahead with what appears to be guess work surgery and making matters worse for their patients.
It is unbelievable to realize that one piece of mesh can cause such devastation not only to our health but it has also affected our quality of life. There are people who have lost their homes, careers, marriages, family and friends.
The greedy practices of the pharmaceutical companies, the un-educated on these medical devices, egos getting in the way of good surgical practice and also through ignorance from our governing bodies they have allowed these products to be used and it still continues today.
This petition is not just for sufferers to sign, we need everyone to sign it, as one lady said to me "the whole globe should be signing it" Please make her wish come true she is in so much pain and discomfort at this time along with many thousands of people.
New webpage arriving tomorrow 10 february 2011 to show you where the figure for thousands of people harmed has come from, you will be shocked!
