Description
While conducting experimental research on blood conduction for open heart surgery in 1953, C. Walton Lillehei collaborated with Sigmamotor, Inc. of Middleport, New York to design a pump sufficient to pump blood through plastic tubing during open heart surgery.
A Sigmamotor pumping unit was used to pump blood for extracorporeal circulation during controlled cross circulation and bubble oxygenator procedures for open heart surgery at the University of Minnesota.
