Bard PowerPort Linked to
Catheter Fracture, Migration & Serious Complications
If you or a loved one had a Bard PowerPort implanted and suffered catheter fracture, migration, infection, blood clots, or other serious complications, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
What is a Bard PowerPort?
The Bard PowerPort is an implanted vascular access device (port and catheter) manufactured by Becton Dickinson (BD) / C.R. Bard. It is used to deliver chemotherapy, antibiotics, nutrition, and other medications directly into the bloodstream for patients requiring long-term IV access.
Many patients have suffered serious complications due to defects in the catheter material and design.

Defects in the catheter material can cause it to fracture, migrate, or break apart, leading to life-threatening complications.
Common Injuries

Strong Evidence
- Material degradation and fracture reported
