Known as the “Father of Artificial Organs,” Dr. Kolff invented the first artificial heart and kidney using orange-juice cans, used auto parts, and sausage casings. He was noted for saying, “If a man can grow a heart, he can build one.” Willem Kolff was born in Leyden, The Netherlands, on 14 February 1911.
The first artificial organ that was successfully implanted in a human was an artificial heart. The device, called the Jarvik-7, was implanted in 1982. It was a significant milestone in the field of artificial organ development. 😊
