Those undergoing surgery or struggling with chronic or severe pain often require the use of a medicine or pain pump. These IVs and infusion pump systems can help deliver fluids, including liquid nutrients and medicines like insulin, morphine, chemotherapy or anesthesia, to the body when needed. These medicine pumps are critical to managing pain and maintaining health.
But sometimes these devices are poorly made or designed. Defective pain pumps with software glitches or mechanical failures can lead to drug overdoses, which can result in brain and lung damage or even death.
If you have experienced complications or increased pain after using a medicine pump or transdermal pain system, you may have received a defective device. We can help.
