What’s Going on With Port Catheters?
While all implantable ports may come with some risks, lawsuits claim there may be design elements specific to Bard PowerPort devices that may increase the likelihood of the device breaking down or fracturing.
Allegedly, Bard received multiple adverse event reports (AERs) that highlighted the dangers of their implantable ports. However, the company failed to adequately warn patients about these potential risks.
If an implantable port breaks down or becomes dislodged, serious injuries may follow, including damage to organs, hemorrhages, infections, sepsis, and more.
