French catheter scale

Imagine you have a straw and you need to put it inside your body to help you pee. That's what a catheter is. But not all straws are the same size, right? Some straws are big and some are small. The same goes for catheters.

In France, they use a special system to measure the size of catheters. It's called the French Catheter Scale. The scale helps doctors and nurses know how thick or thin each catheter is. The scale has numbers from 1 to 36. The higher the number, the thicker the catheter.

This is important information because thinner catheters are best for people with smaller bodies, like children or babies. Thicker catheters are better for bigger people. By using the French Catheter Scale, doctors and nurses can make sure they use the right size catheter for each person. This helps to make sure the catheter is comfortable and works properly.

So basically, the French Catheter Scale is a way to measure the size of catheters in France, so doctors and nurses can choose the right size for each person.
