What is a Bard PowerPort Catheter?

People Who Require Repeated Access to Their Vascular System—be it for Medication Infusions or Diagnostic Studies—will Sometimes Require a Permanent Catheter to Facilitate Fast Access When Necessary. They Are Frequently Used for Cancer Patients to Receive Chemotherapy. the Bard PowerPort Catheters Consist of Two Parts: an Injection Port Where the Medications or Fluids Are Administered and the Actual Bard PowerPort Catheter Implant That Stays Inside the Patient. the Injection Port is Not at Issue in the Bard PowerPort Lawsuits.

The Implanted Catheter is Designed From a Material Called “Chronoflex”. This Material Contains Barium Sulfate, a Contrast Dye That Makes it Easier to See the Port on Imaging. Unfortunately, Barium Sulfate Has Been Shown to Degrade the Structural Integrity of the Implant Itself. the Chemical Design Flaws in the PowerPort Catheters Have Caused the Device to Migrate, Deteriorate, and Fracture, Causing Significant Injury to Patients. the Migration and Deterioration Have Led to Devastating Outcomes for Many and Could Even Be Fatal if Left Untreated.
