Bard PowerPort Injury Lawsuits in Gulfport, MS
Holding Medical Device Manufacturers Accountable for Patient Harm
At Gulf South Law Firm, PLLC, we are actively investigating claims related to Bard PowerPort implant injuries in Gulfport and throughout Mississippi. If you or a loved one suffered complications after receiving a Bard PowerPort surgically implanted catheter, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation.
These medical devices were intended to simplify long-term IV treatments like chemotherapy—but for many patients, they’ve caused serious harm, including bloodstream infections, blood clots, and catheter fractures. We are now accepting new Bard PowerPort cases and offering free consultations to review your claim.
What Is a Bard PowerPort?
The Bard PowerPort is a type of totally implantable vascular access device (TIVAD) placed under the skin to deliver medication directly into a vein. While it is commonly used for cancer patients or those needing long-term IV access, reports show the device may fracture, migrate, or leak, posing serious risks to patients.
These catheter failures have led to:
- Life-threatening infections
- Dangerous blood clots (including deep vein thrombosis, or DVT)
- Internal injuries from device migration
- Emergency surgery to remove the PowerPort
- In some cases, permanent disability or death
PowerPort Complications Reported to the FDA
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received hundreds of adverse event reports related to Bard PowerPort failures. Patients and healthcare professionals alike have raised concerns about the safety of these devices, yet the manufacturer—Becton, Dickinson and Company, formerly C.R. Bard—continues to produce and sell them.
Current lawsuits allege that:
- Bard knew of the risks and failed to properly test the product
- The company did not provide adequate warnings to doctors or patients
- Patients were left vulnerable to catastrophic health consequences

- You had a Bard PowerPort implanted
