ViperSheath Sheath Introducer encountered the issues

It In the event of a device fracture, separated segments of the ViperSheath Sheath Introducer may require unplanned open surgery to remove the retained segments or control bleeding. Since this device is coil reinforced, any separation of the cannula (a flexible tube inserted into the body) has the potential to expose portions of the coil, creating the potential for vessel dissection or perforation.

When I signed up with the Victim's Compensation Fund ("VCF"), Parker Waichman ("PW") guided me through the entire process. Without their guidance I wouldn't have gotten through it. They do outstanding work and they care deeply for their clients. Tina Morace is pleasant, patient, and very professional. She held my hand through the process of getting all the documents together. Tina is a valuable employee at PW, I hope PW appreciates her as much as I do.

They asked "how could Parker Waichman be any better " my reply is: Just keep the quality of care you have. The demeanor of PW llP as a whole on the out side seems to have ran smoothly. When I know for a fact it's not always easy . The only way to improve is to have the new comers learn from the lawyer and assistants there now. Julie Trinidad,Mary S. ,Marianne .
