Who is a FR 12 Foley catheter for?
A Foley catheter FR 12 is the smallest of the three adult sizes Sternmed stocks. It suits patients who need a narrower catheter than the common FR 14.
Choosing the size is a clinical decision for the health worker placing it. Sternmed also stocks FR 14 and FR 16, so a ward can hold all three.
What does FR mean on a catheter?
FR is the French scale. It measures the outside diameter of the catheter. Three French units equal one millimetre, so the bigger the FR number, the wider the catheter.
The letters are sometimes written as Fr, FG or Ch on other packs. They all mean the same scale, so a size 14 from one supplier matches a size 14 from another.
On this Foley catheter FR 12 that works out to 4 mm. FR 12 is 4 mm, FR 14 is 4.67 mm and FR 16 is 5.33 mm.
