Catheter Migration & Infection Potentially Linked to Injury
Bard Access Systems, Inc. offers its PowerPort medical device as an implanted port device that medical professionals can use for easy access to the patient’s veins.
However, patients with the PowerPort devices may possibly be at a higher risk of serious complications or injury due to a catheter failure, according to lawsuits filed against Becton Dickinson and Company, C.R. Bard, Inc. and Bard Access Systems, Inc.
If you or a loved one has suffered from a catheter migration injury due to this device, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

A catheter fracture would occur when part of a catheter device breaks inside of the patient’s body.
Allegedly, in some cases, the catheter can potentially break down further once in the bloodstream, which could potentially cause fragments of silicone and polyurethane to travel the circulatory system.
A catheter often fractures due to the lower durability that results from constantly flexing or moving the muscles near the PowerPort.
This issue is known as flex fatigue.
Catheter Migration can be rare but is a serious complication with an implanted PowerPort.
Due to varying reasons, a catheter may completely dislodge itself from the Powerport and migrate to other organs in the body’s circulatory system.
This means that a dislodged catheter may travel to vital organs, such as the heart, and lodge themselves there, requiring immediate surgery and extraction.
Two reasons for catheter migration involves:
The manufacturer of the implanted PowerPort device (Brad Access System) may also be held liable for catheter dislodgement and subsequent migration, due to manufacturing errors of the device.
Bard outlines its PowerPort as a special type of implanted port device that withstands higher injection pressures than a normal port, which is ideal for fluids that require rapid injection.
This implanted port device, or port-a-cath, allows medical professionals to easily access a patient’s bloodstream for regular intravenous therapy or injections of medicine.
It consists of two parts:
To use the PowerPort, medical professionals need to use a special needle (the PowerLoc needle) to “access” the bloodstream.
From there, medicine and fluids can be administered through the needle and blood samples can be withdrawn.
The PowerPort is not a perfect device and can be subject to common issues affecting other port-a-cath devices, causing them to fail.
The 3 main common PowerPort issues include:
For more information on what catheter fractures, infections, and migrations are, and what causes them, please check out our FAQ section above!
Serious injuries can come as a result of the various PowerPort complications.
These complications include:
A fractured catheter can cause significant internal damage with the catheter pieces circulating in the bloodstream.
In all cases, there is a high possibility of requiring emergency surgery to remove any fractured pieces and properly treat all affected organs.
An infection could potentially cause serious complication as the body could possibly have more difficulty dealing with the pathogens that reside in the catheter.
If gone untreated, catheter infection can cause a number of serious and even life-threatening injuries.
If you are suffering from a PowerPort injury, there are steps that you can take to minimize the damages caused by your injury and to gain compensation for those injuries.
If you believe something is wrong with your implanted port device or feel pain around the port device’s location, you should see your doctor immediately to receive the necessary care.
It’s important to treat any PowerPort injury early.
Make sure to follow their orders, do everything in your power to mitigate future economic impacts related to your injury.
