In 2017, a little known permanently implanted medical device, with an unknown demographic of users was recalled from the market, but recipients of that device were not notified.

Very few medical practitioners have heard of the device, and even less have researched it on behalf of their patients, patients who are often on a multitude of medication to treat their growing list of symptoms.

Essure is a mix of inflammation causing plastic surrounded with tightly bound metal coils, coils that are known to corrode, fall apart, and occasionally are expelled in what is sometimes an excruciating experience.

All recipients of the Essure permanent IUD deserve a thorough examination in light of the long list of side effects along with fair and reasonable treatment.

At the very least, they deserve the monitoring that Medsafe asked for in their press release, which you can read here:
