Bard IVC Filter Injuries can be avoided and I’ll detail how. C.R. Bard and Cook are the two major manufacturers of retrievable Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filters. Retrievable Bard and Cook Inferior Vena Cava filters have come under fire over the past 6 years as more information has come to light over the increased risk with these defective medical devices.
Case in point, Amber Nordin, from South Dakota earlier this year filed a personal injury and defective product liability lawsuit against C.R. Bard, because of the Bard company’s Eclipse blood clot filters broke apart and embedded inside her internal organs.
