Mississippi is sharing in a $188.6 million multistate settlement with Boston Scientific Corporation to resolve allegations of deceptive marketing of its surgical mesh products for women.
Attorney General Lynn Fitch announced Tuesday that Mississippi will get $2.19 million, multiple news agencies reported.
Surgical mesh is a synthetic woven fabric that is implanted in the pelvic floor to treat common health conditions in women, such as stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
