Approved by the FDA in 2000, the Bard PowerPort is a surgically implantable catheter that delivers medication and fluids intravenously for extended periods. Numerous problems with the device’s design have led to allegations of severe injuries and deaths.

Many who have suffered injuries or lost loved ones because of defective Bard PowerPorts have filed product liability lawsuits. The victims claim that defects in the device make them prone to deteriorating, breaking, cracking, leaking fluids, failing, and migrating throughout the body. The lawsuits allege they suffered physical and emotional harm, resulting in hospitalization, invasive procedures, infection control measures, and even death.
