About the TIVAD / Port Catheter Lawsuit
TIVAD stands for Totally Implantable Venous Access Device, also known as Port Catheters, which are used to access veins in cancer patients. During the implantation procedure, TIVAD ports are placed under the skin and connected to the vein via a catheter. These devices came under scrutiny due to reported complications, including infections, device malfunctions, and severe health issues impacting patients' quality of life.
If you or someone you know has been affected by these complications, you may be eligible to pursue legal action to seek compensation for physical and emotional distress, medical expenses, lost income, and diminished quality of life.
