Jeri L. Dobbs Artificial Heart Valve Collection circa 1960

http://nwda.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv24359

Jeri L. Dobbs donated a collection of artificial heart valves and 35mm slides to Historical Collections & Archives Medical Museum Collection in 2006. The collection contains a mix of early experimental heart valves and some later manufactured valves used in surgery. In addition, there are 4 pace makers and a mounting stent. The collection includes 35mm slides which were removed to the HIC. The condition of the pieces ranges from poor (used) to excellent (packaged). In 1958 Jeri Dobbs worked as a perfusionist in the UOMS Department of Physiology. In 1966 he began work with Dr. Albert Starr, the co-creator of the artificial heart valve.

In 1958 Jeri L. Dobbs worked as a perfusionist in the UOMS Department of Physiology. In 1966 he began working with Dr. Albert Starr in Cardiology. Dr. Starr is credited as the co-creator of the Starr-Edwards heart valve. The first valves, implanted in the early 1960's, paved the way for further refinements of the process and the prosthesis leading to the Starr-Edwards heart valve being the primary artificial valve.
