bard ivc filter lawsuit

Since 2005, almost 1000 adverse events have filed with the FDA concerning IV filters used to help filter blood clots. Our law firm is currently filing Bard IVC filter lawsuits. These IV filters, sometimes called IVC filters are used to prevent deep vein thrombosis and blood clots traveling to the heart or lungs, and pulmonary emboli. The potentially dangerous filters in question are the Bard’s Recovery IVC Filter and G2 IVC Filter Systems. They are also referred to as inferior vena cava filters. They are used to help catch traveling blood clots that have broken form the anterior wall.

C.R. Bard, the maker of the Recovery IVC Filter and G2 IVC Filter Systems has attempted to fix the problem, but with less than satisfactory results. Reports are still coming in of the filter’s radial arms and struts breaking off inside the body of patients. In 2005, Bard stopped making the Recovery IVC Filter System and removed it from the market and replaced it with a newer version – the G2 IVC Filter System. In fact, Bard’s device G2 IVC Filter System was approved by the FDA for permanent placement only, and not for retrievable use.

Though originally approved for permanent implantation, in May 2014, the FDA advised, however, these devices should be retrieved within 29 to 54 days after insertion. A medical study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found however that less than 10% of IVC filter systems are actually removed successfully and that a large number of the Bard IV filter patients still suffer pulmonary embolisms with these filters in place. If you’ve been harmed by this product, our drug attorneys can help you get legal justice by filing a Bard IVC filter lawsuit.
