IVC Filter Manufacturer C.R. Bard Subject Of IVC Filter Lawsuit

July 18, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on numerous allegations made by many plaintiffs against C.R. Bard claiming that the IVC filters the company manufactures are dangerous and defective. The company is the subject of approximately 50 lawsuits that cite the G2 and Recovery brand filters that it manufactures. These 50 cases have been consolidated into a federal litigation in Arizona.

One of these cases was originally filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri by a woman who claims her husband died as a result of a defective IVC filter. Her husband had a G2 IVC filter implanted in his inferior vena cava vein in November of 2006 with the purpose of preventing blood clots from migrating from his lower body to his heart and lungs. According to the court documents, after the implantation surgery, the filter tilted and subsequently tore the vena cava vein allowing blood clots to bypass the filter and reach his heart and lungs. In September 2012 he died as a result of a blood clot that proved to be fatal.

Generally, IVC filters are used in patients that cannot take traditional blood-thinning medications. The devices are surgically implanted into the inferior vena cava vein which transports blood from the lower body to the upper body, specifically and most importantly to the heart and lungs. The filters are meant to capture blood clots traveling to these major organs and hold them until they naturally dissipate. If a blood clot were to reach the heart or lungs it could cause significant and life-threatening harm to the patient.
