About This Item
"An apparatus of coiled collodion tubes surrounded by a saline solution was soon devised and used for this purpose; arterial blood was shunted through these tubes and then returned to the experimental animal's vein. . . . Even at this time, Abel seems to have been aware of the clinical potential of what he called his 'vividiffusion' apparatus; it might, he suggested, prove useful in managing renal failure" (DSB).
To prevent blood clotting in his experimental animals, Abel used an anticoagulant obtained from leeches (hirudin); however, this was difficult to prepare and unsuitable for human use. Heparin, an anticoagulant occurring naturally in mammals, was discovered in 1916, but the use of dialysis as a clinical tool had to wait until 1937, when methods were developed to prepare large quantities of purified heparin extract.
