Phillip's catheter [2 records]

Record 1 2008-08-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
DEF

A catheter for the urethra having a woven filiform guide.

OBS

In medical eponyms, the possessive form, such as "Phillips' catheter", often disappears over the years. For that reason, the written form "Phillips' catheter" is also found. If the name of the inventor was Phillips (information we were not able to confirm), than the form "Phillip's' catheter" should not be used.
