Failure to warn about Coloplast Altis sling risks may cause chronic pain and neurological injuries

SANTA BARBARA , CALIFORNIA , UNITED STATES , August 29, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Dr. Greg Vigna, national malpractice and mid-urethral sling attorney, states, “Our complaints include the following allegations: Prior to the date the Altis device was implanted into Plaintiff’s body, Coloplast also deliberately and/or carelessly failed to warn Plaintiff and her health care providers of the device’s higher risks of chronic groin pain and risk of dyspareunia compared to those of other available devices and treatments available at that time, including traditional full-length, mid-urethral slings, as demonstrated in the New England Journal of Medicine publication, 'Single-Incision Mini-Slings for Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women.' Coloplast further failed to provide the internal data from this study, known to Coloplast at all relevant times hereto, that showed how the Altis performed compared to the Bard Adjust device, full-length Retropubic slings, and to full-length transobturator slings.” (Case reference: PC-2024-04342, filed in Providence/Bristol County Superior Court)
