Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about PowerPort and implantable port injuries
I still have the port and have not had surgery. Should I still ask about a claim?
+If imaging shows a crack, migration, or a recommended removal, a review can still be useful. Do not delay medical care to make a legal call.
What records identify the exact device?
+The implant sticker, operative report, and hospital device log usually list the brand and lot.
Is this the same as a medication injury?
+No. The claim is about the implanted port failing, not about the chemotherapy or other drug that went through it.
