When people develop blood clots in their lower bodies, they are generally at risk for those blood clots moving through the circulatory system and settling in their lungs, which creates a much more difficult medical situation. Therefore, different products have been brought to market that have been used to keep blood clots in place in order to avoid this danger. One of the leading products in this regard is known as the Bard IVC filter.

Unfortunately, serious problems have arisen with many people who have used this product, and people have been seriously injured and in some cases allegedly killed as a result of trusting the Bard IVC filter. If this includes you or someone you love, seek the help of experienced Bard IVC filter lawyers as soon as possible. Below is a brief introduction to this issue.

How Bard IVC Filters Work

Bard IVC filters are designed to prevent blood clots that exist in someone’s body from traveling to more dangerous internal locations such as the lungs. These filters are implanted into the patient’s body and they are supposed to remain in place. These filters are used on patients who are seen to be at risk for a pulmonary embolism and who cannot take anticoagulant medication for some reason.

Problems Arise with Bard IVC Filters

Unfortunately, serious problems began to arise soon after the Bard IVC filters were introduced to the market. There were basically two main malfunctions that occurred that led to serious harm in patients, and each of these malfunctions could occur at any time and without any type of tangible warning.

One such malfunction involves the shifting of the position of the filter from where it was intended to sit. There have been cases where the entire unit did not stay where it was supposed to and became lodged in a different part of the body, including the lungs and other areas that led to extreme pain, serious injury and grave danger.

Another common malfunction when compared to other problems with the Bard IVC filers was the tendency for the arms or struts of these products to break off by themselves and to travel into other parts of the body. These small parts would also move through the circulatory system and become lodged in other places that led to extreme danger for the patient.
