Why Are People Filing AngioDynamics Port Catheter Lawsuits?
People who filed AngioDynamics port catheter lawsuits allege that the devices have a design defect that may cause them to fracture, resulting in serious injuries.
Litigation claims that the catheter component of the ports contains an excessive amount of barium sulfate that can cause the material to break down. Lawsuits claim this defect has led to injuries like blood clots, infections and tissue or organ perforation.
Plaintiffs also say that the company knew or should have known about these risks but failed to properly warn patients and health care providers about these dangers.
AngioDynamics bought Navilyst Medical in 2012. Both are listed as defendants in these lawsuits.
Doctors implant port catheters in patients who need long-term treatment that requires repeated access to a vein for administration of blood, fluids, medications, nutritional supplementation, contrast media for imaging tests or sampling of blood.
Do I Qualify for an AngioDynamics Port Lawsuit?
If you received an AngioDynamics port catheter and suffered injuries, you may qualify to file a lawsuit. You may also be eligible to file a wrongful death suit on behalf of a loved one who died due to injuries they received from the device.
Injuries claimed in AngioDynamics port catheter lawsuits are similar to what plaintiffs experienced in the Bard PowerPort lawsuit.
