Patient Care Medical's Guide to French Catheter Sizing

What are French Catheters and What Are They Used For?

Urinary catheters come in a variety of sizes and lengths for men, women, and children. The term “French catheters” refers to the sizing measurements used to determine your specific catheter. Each catheter’s French size is measured by the external diameter of the catheter tube. Based upon your doctor’s specified recommendation, they will determine your French size by the simple multiplication of 3 mm by 3. So for example, if your catheter has a diameter of 4.7mm your French size will be a 14.

Why Getting The Right Catheter French Size is Important

When it comes to self-catheterization, the comfort and overall functionality of the catheter device is absolutely critical. If your French size is too large for your urethra, you may experience pain with cathing. If your French size is too small, the speed at which urine drains from the bladder will slow down considerably. Additionally, a catheter smaller than the urethra will allow urine to escape through the catheter tube causing mess and additional stress. To learn more about the different colors associated with French catheter sizing, refer to the following chart.
