Artificial Heart Valve, 30 Aug 1960
Scope and Contents
1 reel.
The film depicts the pouring of a ceramic mold to form the shape of the valve as well as the brushing of adhesive onto the valve. The heart valve mold is formed, and stitches are attached. Some scenes show sketches of the heart and other chest organs. There is a comparison of pre-and post-operation heart beat monitoring. The valve is sewn into the heart but without a strong heartbeat.
Notes say that the copy is a duplicate negative and shows footage of the entire process of implanting the artificial valve and watching it pump. There may be a soundtrack that was not transferred with this collection.
