(Reuters) - A lawyer representing four women in Miami federal court who say they were injured by Boston Scientific Corp’s transvaginal mesh accused the company on Monday of ignoring patient safety in its haste to get the devices on the market.
“They set a priority that should never exist inside a medical device company – speed as No. 1,” said plaintiffs’ lawyer Jim Perdue during opening arguments in the trial, which is one of two that began Monday against the company over the devices.
Perdue is representing four women implanted with the company’s Pinnacle device to treat pelvic organ prolapse.
