Reason/Issue	The TGA carried out a clinical review of urogynaecological surgical mesh implants and found that, while there may be a benefit in certain patients there is little evidence to support the overall effectiveness of these surgical meshes as a class of products. The findings from the review have highlighted the importance of: - appropriate patient selection; - surgeon experience; and - the need for fully informed patient consent. Following the TGA's review Coloplast Pty Ltd has made significant and substantive updates to the Instructions for Use (IFU) for the referenced products.
