For this month’s FemTech Book Club we’ll be discussing The Bleeding Edge, a Netflix documentary directed by Kirby Dick.
The Bleeding Edge explores the FDA's 510(k) process which allows a medical device to be fast-tracked onto the market with less clinical study and human testing. The film explores problems with hip replacement devices that can lead to cobalt poisoning and vaginal mesh devices that injured multiple women, and shows how women's pain is so often disregarded.
IMPT: Please register for the event on Eventbrite.
