Pneumatic Compression Devices Alternative To Traditional Blood-Thinning Treatments As Xarelto Lawsuit Filings Continue

June 21, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on alternative blood clot therapies such as that offered by Vascular PRN as per an article in SBWire. Vascular PRN provides patients who are at an increased risk of blood clots a prevention method that does not carry with it dangerous risks such as those associated with Xarelto and other blood-thinning drugs. The company distributes pneumatic compression devices that utilize alternating compression to improve blood flow and prevent clotting in patients in nursing homes that are immobile or those recovering from major surgery.

Greg Grambor is the President of Vascular PRN and he recently commented on the possibility of devices such as those his company distributes becoming a viable alternative to blood-thinning drug therapies. He stated that “In cases where embolism prevention is the primary concern, pneumatic compression is a terrific alternative or supplemental therapy to warfarin and Xarelto.”

When Xarelto was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2011 it was a very popular blood-thinning treatment. However, since then the drug and its manufacturers, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of the Johnson and Johnson Corporation, and Bayer AG, have become the focus of much controversy. It is now considered by many to be dangerous as it has been alleged to have precipitated instances of excessive bleeding, which were fatal in many cases. It is also at the center of investigations over clinical trials that appear to have used a faulty medical device that created erroneous data overstating Xarelto’s effectiveness. This alleged erroneous data was also transmitted to prestigious and reputable medical journals for assessment.

Additionally, Xarelto has been the focus of over 3,000 lawsuits that have been consolidated into two primary groups. The first is a multidistrict litigation (MDL 2592) encompassing over 2,800 federal cases. The second is a mass group tort in Philadelphia, PA consolidated by the Court of Common Pleas.

The attorneys of Banville Law, the firm behind TheProductLawyers.com, are offering complimentary consultations to anyone who suffered injury or hospitalization after a bleed while on Xarelto. For more information about this release or the Xarelto litigation call 888-997-3792.
