Medrad was an American company headquartered in Warrendale, Pennsylvania, until it was purchased by Bayer AG in 2006. It was founded in 1964 by M. Stephen Heilman, a doctor who created the first flow-controlled, angiographic power injector in the kitchen of his home near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. An emergency department physician by day, Heilman saw potential in angiography. Power injecting a contrast agent into the vessels, he reasoned, would enhance the image and make it possible to diagnose the heart disease and stroke patients who regularly came through the emergency department.
