Cook Medical IVC Filter Lawsuit

Cook Medical IVC Filter Highly-Respected Attorneys In Atlanta Helping Clients Harmed By Faulty IVC Filters

Cook Medical manufactured two different IVC filters. The first is the Celect IVC filter and the second is the Gunther-Tulip IVC filter. Both filters had the potential to endanger recipients and ended up harming many people.

If you have been injured by a faulty IVC filter, then you should contact a seasoned Atlanta defective product attorney as soon as possible.

What is an IVC Filter Medical Device?

An IVC filter is positioned in the inferior vena cava. This large vein is in charge of moving deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

The filter installed prevents blood clots from traveling to the lungs or heart. It’s important for the IVC filter to function properly. The symptoms can be devastating if the IVC filter is faulty.

Cook Medical is the company that produces Celect IVC filters and Gunther Tulip IVC filters. Like any other IVC filter, the filters made by Cook Medical are intended to prevent blood clots from traveling to the heart or lungs.

Over the years since their release, the Gunther Tulip and Celect medical devices have received reports of patients being severely harmed. Patients have experienced different adverse side effects from faulty Cook Medical IVC filters.

What are the Symptoms of a Defective Cook Medical IVC Filter?

Here are some of the injuries that have been reported with faulty Cook Medical IVC Filters:

  • Infections or hemorrhaging
  • Difficulty removing the medical device
  • The IVC filter embedding in the inferior vena cava
  • Blood clots near the filter or other parts of the body
  • IVC filter perforating internal organs or inferior vena cava
  • Splinters from the filter moving into other areas of the body

How Many Cook Medical IVC Filter Lawsuits Have Been Filed?

Over twenty lawsuits have been filed against the company for its defective medical devices. The FDA attempted to warn professionals and patients about the risks of using a Cook Medical device in a report.

This report showed that 921 claims were sent to the FDA showing the filters caused adverse effects in patients. Another report was released in 2012 by the FDA as a warning about the Cook Medical IVC filter risks.

Thousands of patients were given the IVC filters without being properly warned. As a result, the cases filed against Cook Medical were combined into a single action. This took place in Southern Indiana’s United States District Court.

The potential for these medical filters to cause harm has already been recognized by the FDA and the court system. If you have been injured by a Cook Medical Celect IVC filter or a Cook Medical Gunther-Tulip IVC filter, then you could receive financial compensation with the help of a law firm.
