Group claim able to proceed against maker Bayer after women said implant caused pain, BBC reports
Two hundred women in the UK who say they were left in pain after having a permanent contraception device fitted have permission to launch a group legal action against its manufacturer, it has been reported.
The device, known as Essure, is a soft, flexible device placed into the patient’s fallopian tubes. Over three months a barrier forms around the inserts, which is intended to block the fallopian tubes and permanently prevent pregnancy.
