Seattle, United States – May 9, 2018 /PressCable/ —

A medical device claimed to ward off the dangerous disease of pulmonary embolism has been alleged to result in a slurry of menacing risks.

IVC (Inferior Vena Cava) Filters are implanted into inferior vena cava to prevent PEs. The device is designed to catch migrating blood clots before they reach lung or heart to save patients from the life-threatening ailment. IVC Filters are manufactured by some of the most renowned Pharma companies including Bard, Rex Medical, Boston Scientific, Cordis and such other elite names. However, leading online Pharma consumer watchdog Drugwatcher has recently released a gut-wrenching report on IVC filters that brings to light the heinous risks associated with the apparent life-saving device and thousands of lawsuits filed against it.

Titled as “IVC Filter Lawsuit 2018”, the Drugwatcher report has revealed that, in many cases, the implanted IVC filters had broken apart inside the patients’ body which had eventually led to nearly fatal complications. According to the report, a large number of IVC Filter users have filed claims against the manufacturers alleging negligence on their part and poor design of the device. Worst is, it has been claimed by the patients that the manufacturers knew about the grave risks associated with these devices all through but they chose to stay quiet to keep their profits high.

“IVC Filters have been dangerously risky for a lot of patients and a pile of lawsuits have been filed against the irresponsible and insensible manufacturers. Among the IVC Filter manufacturers, it’s Bard which has been the focus of maximum numbers of lawsuits. Recently, the company has been ordered to pay a mammoth compensation of $3.6 million to a Texas lady who had to suffer severe complications after her G2 Filter got fractured inside her body”, read the Drugwatcher report.

The Drugwatcher post has elaborated about a series of issues and alarming facts associated with implantation of IVC Filters. These include the different risks and side-effects of having the medical device inside the body, the IVC Filter lawsuits filed against different manufacturers of the device as well as pending IVC Filters Class Action Lawsuits and the related lawsuit settlements. There is also a separate section in the post on why Bard has become the focus of maximum IVC filter lawsuits as of now.
