Catheter Sizes French. French sizes only apply to. By convention, peripheral iv catheters are sized in gauge, and central venous catheters (cvcs) are sized in french. The size in french units is roughly equal to the circumference of the catheter in millimeters. The french size of a catheter is determined by a simple multiplication of 3 (diameters in millimeters multiplied by 3 = the french size). French sizes of fr 5 or 6 generally fit infants and children while fr 8 to 12 catheters work for most teens. For example, if a catheter has a diameter of 4.7 millimeters, then the french (fr) size is 14. Typically speaking, the french size for adult women is between 10 and 12, and the range for adult men is typically between 14 and 16, with most men averaging closer to 14. Whether it’s a 1.88 inch long 20 gauge peripheral intravenous (piv) catheter or a 13.5 french mahurkar dialysis catheter, healthcare workers are exposed to both the “gauge” and “french” unit systems almost every day. 28 rows the french scale, french gauge or charrière system is commonly used to measure the size of a catheter. This table compares french sizing to gauges for catheters with flow rates. Catheters for men and unisex catheters tend to average around 16 inches (40.6cm) in length. We’ll explore how french sizes are determined, clarify the difference between sizes like 14 and 16 fr, address common concerns.
