Cindy Gray submission of 7 July 2021

PE1865/HH - Suspend all surgical mesh and fixation devices

Unfortunately I had to have an operation to fix a bladder prolapse with Tension-free Vaginal Tape Obturator (TVTO) mesh in 2009. I had problems straight after surgery with a haemorrhage and inability to empty my bladder. This has continued and I am now having to empty my bladder using catheters. I have also suffered with awful pain and symptoms of immunological conditions. Please ban the use of these devices, there are so many of us suffering from the same symptoms, it can’t be coincidental.
