Totally Implanted Venous Access Devices (TIVAD) are used to access veins in cancer patients. These devices are connected to the vein via a catheter and are placed under the skin of the patient. It lets doctors reach the patient’s veins to administer drugs (such as chemotherapy transfusions and other medicines), easier. The lawsuit in the process against them linked the ports to severe injuries that could lead to death including hemorrhaging, leaking, sepsis, and more.
