Q

What gauge is the TURKEL™ Safety Thoracentesis System and how long is it?

Anonymous- On Saturday, 09 March 2019

A

The size of the TURKEL™ Safety Thoracentesis System is not gauge, it's the French Catheter Scale. 8 fr is 2.7mm outside diameter, and equates to a 12.3 gauge catheter. It is 3-1/2" long.
