Bard Peripheral Vascular Inc. is recalling approximately 14,935 central venous (CV) catheter trays and kits, including Broviac, Hickman, and Leonard models, because the outer tray may be damaged. This damage can compromise the sterile barrier of the medical devices, which are used to provide vascular access for medications and fluids. The recall affects various sizes and configurations distributed worldwide between December 2025 and early 2026.
If the sterile barrier of a catheter tray is compromised, the medical device may become contaminated with bacteria or other pathogens. Using a non-sterile catheter for a medical procedure poses a significant risk of serious infection or sepsis for the patient.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
