Scribner created a small plastic tube, which was placed in an arteriovenous fistula in the arm of Clyde Shields, and connected by a circuit to a machine – previously invented by Dr. W. Kolff in the Netherlands – which could be connected and disconnected as many times as necessary.
Scribner inventó una pequeña cánula de plástico que, colocada en una fístula arteriovenosa en el brazo de Clyde Shields, y unida por un circuito a una máquina – inventada mucho tiempo antes por el doctor W. Kolff en Holanda – podía conectarse y desconectarse cuantas veces se quisiera.
