Petition Action

Suspend the use of surgical hernia mesh and review impact on patients

Petition Details

I want the use of Polypropelyne surgical hernia meshes to be suspended until full human clinical trials have been held. I also want the Government to review the impact of mesh on patients, assessing health impacts and giving affected patients the opportunity to submit statements to the Government.

Additional Information

People such as me are having their lives ruined by this device and, the NHS is facing the financial burden of providing to treatment who have adverse effects from this mesh.

Suspending the use of mesh until full clinical trials have been held, and the results published, would protect people from harm, and a review would ensure the impact on patients was fully assessed and informed future policy.
