The lawsuit was filed by J.S. who was injured by the Abbrevo, a polypropylene transobturator sling, used for the surgical management of stress urinary incontinence. The Abbrevo is manufactured by Ethicon Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, Inc, and is similar to Ethicon’s TVT-O sling and was implanted on March 7, 2019 at a hospital in Texas.

Dr. Oladell is accused of failing to warn of ‘any problem or defect with the Abbrevo device or the extent or nature of the harm that might reasonably result from implantation of the mesh.
