In December 2008, despite unfavorable reviews by scientific experts, the FDA approved the device for sale in the United States under political pressure from four congressmen, as well as one of its own commissioners.
A clinical trial of the device found that it failed to work any better than routine surgery, and in reviewing the implant’s safety record, a panel of experts commissioned by the FDA noted that patients who received the Menaflex faced an “unduly lengthy recovery period” of six months and adverse events that included second surgeries.
