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. 5, record 1, English, - Phillips%20catheter
