IVC Filters May Be Ticking Time Bombs

IVC filter lawsuits are being filed at an increasing pace as evidence that many of these medical devices are defective and unsafe.

An IVC filter warning has been sounded, with substantial evidence linking IVC filters to serious injury. Research has found that many of these blood clot filters have broken, putting patients’ lives at risk. A broken IVC filter can puncture the heart and cause serious injury or even death. IVC filter complications can also have a number of other negative health impacts damaging patients’ quality of life.

IVC filters, or inferior vena cava filters, are essentially tiny wire baskets implanted to prevent life-threatening pulmonary embolism. While they have been helpful in some cases, their safety and efficacy remain hotly debated in medical circles. Defective devices are common, leading many in the legal profession to refer to them as “ticking time bombs.”

If you have an IVC filter, it’s worthwhile to check in with your doctor to ensure the device is in good working order. If you have an IVC filter that has malfunctioned and caused adverse effects, you have options. Contact Saunders & Walker P.A. today for a consultation to determine if you can recover damages for the unnecessary threat to your health these faulty devices have caused.
