Belding Hibbard Scribner—Better Known as Scrib

[摘要] It is particularly appropriate the Hall of Fame series should honor Belding Scribner in 2010, 50 years after he developed the device that first allowed treatment of irreversible chronic renal failure (Figure 1). Now, in 2010, there are between two and three million dialysis patients alive worldwide, and the global market for dialysis equipment and supplies is of the order of 69 billion dollars.
