TIVAD Port Catheter Lawsuit

What Is a TIVAD Port Catheter Lawsuit?

Totally Implantable Vascular Access Devices (TIVADs), like the Bard PowerPort, are used to deliver medication or fluids directly into a patient's bloodstream. But manufacturing flaws and material breakdown can lead to serious injuries, including catheter fractures, device migration, or bloodstream infections.

Lawsuits allege that manufacturers failed to warn users about the risk of port catheter degradation and that they used materials known to fracture or break under normal conditions.

Complications Linked to Defective TIVAD Ports

Catheter Fracture or Breakage

Bloodstream Infections (Sepsis)

Device Migration

Cardiac Perforation or Tamponade

Emergency Surgical Removal

Blood Clots and Stroke Risk
