Central venous catheters and peripherally inserted central catheters, commonly known as PICC lines, are widely used to deliver medications, nutrients, or chemotherapy over extended periods. Patients rely on these devices to function safely and provide reliable access to the bloodstream. However, reports have linked certain catheters and PICC lines to serious complications caused by device defects, improper design, or material failure.
Instead of aiding treatment, defective catheters and PICC lines can lead to infections, vessel damage, and life-threatening complications that require urgent medical care.
Defective or malfunctioning catheters and PICC lines have been associated with serious injuries including:
Many patients are unaware a catheter malfunction has occurred until complications arise, often leading to prolonged hospitalization or additional procedures.
Lawsuits allege that some catheters and PICC lines were defectively designed, manufactured using materials prone to failure, or sold without adequate warnings about potential risks. Injured patients often face extensive medical care, repeated surgeries, and long-term health consequences that could have been prevented.
