The Sparks Mandril for vessel access in haemodialysis. 1976

D N Hamilton, and J D Briggs, and S G Macpherson, and A J Wilson

The Sparks Mandril, placed as a forearm loop, provides excellent access for haemodialysis. The long-term patency rate however, is less than for other access devices and hence the mandril's place at present is in patients with access problems.
