Bard PowerPort™ Case Evaluation
Bard PowerPort™ Risks and Injuries
The Bard PowerPort™ is a catheter device created to deliver medications directly to a patient’s bloodstream. This is helpful when patients need to receive intravenous (IV) medications repeatedly and doctors want to avoid wearing out a patient’s veins. However, these devices had flaws in their design that led the devices to break or fracture in rare cases. The Bard Powerport™ has been in use for 15 years, but problems with the device only came to light in the past 5 years. While uncommon, patients have experienced a wide variety of problems during and after use of this device.

Holding Irresponsible Product Manufacturers, Irresponsible Drug and Medical Device Makers Accountable
Trust. It is extremely important when it comes to consumer products, medicine and medical procedures. You trust that manufacturers have made products that meet guidelines they claim their products meet. You trust that the medicine or medical device your doctors use when treating you will make you better, not worse. As a patient, you put your trust in the companies that design and manufacture these defective drugs and devices. If you believe you have suffered serious injuries because of a defective product, dangerous drug or defective medical device/implant, you need to consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
