Judkins

Melvin Paul Judkins (May 3, 1922 – January 28, 1985) was an American physician known for his pioneering contributions to the field of radiology, with techniques and devices that played a part in the early development of the fields of interventional radiology and interventional cardiology. He developed specialized pre-shaped catheters to reach the coronary vessels via the aorta. Today, they are commonly used and known as Judkins catheters.
