More than 1000 women affected by complications from vaginal mesh products have not been assessed for compensation, two years after the mammoth legal settlements.

Device makers Johnson & Johnson, Ethicon and Boston Scientific agreed to pay $405 million in compensation in settlements approved by the Federal Court of Australia in late 2022 and early 2023.

However, on Thursday, the court was told that 1020 women had yet to be assessed for compensation, apparently because of difficulties obtaining medical records.

“An enormous amount of work has been done, but there are stragglers,” the administrators’ lawyer, Guy Donnellan, told the court.
