At a medical trade show in 1964, Mr. Cook was using a Bunsen burner to demonstrate making catheters from plastic tubing when a man wandered by to ask if he could borrow the equipment, as the exhibit was closing for the day. He was Dr. Charles T. Dotter, who developed angioplasty, the technique of mechanically widening an obstructed blood vessel. He returned the next morning with 15 exquisitely made catheters, and Mr. Cook promptly sold them for $10 apiece. They went on to form a mutually beneficial association in many projects over the years.
