Question 45359 — women

Summary

Ms. Albane Gaillot questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about the suspension of the installation of all perineal strips and the support for victims of these strips. Supposed to be a solution to incontinence or organ descent, these strips can cause complications going so far as to seriously handicap the women who are victims: intolerable pain, infections, inability to work, sit down, have a normal life... In 2020, the use of certain types of strips was suspended on the grounds that their polypropylene composition is a material at the origin of many post-surgical complications. But others remain authorized, prostheses for upper prolapse treatment as well as suburethral strips, even though they also contain polypropylene. Some women had a strip fitted without consent or without being informed of the possible side effects, the implantation methods, or even the model of the implanted strip. Added to this is the fact that many victims still have these implants. She therefore questions him about the measures he intends to take to ensure the effective suspension of all polypropylene perineal strips, as well as of the care of victims of these implants.
