AnswerThe French catheter scale, also known as French gauge or Charriere (Ch) after the creator of the measurement scale, is commonly used in describing the diameter of medical devices/tubing. It was developed in the 1800's by a French surgical instruments maker, Joseph-Frederic-Benoit Charriere, to describe the circumference of medical tubing. The idea is that a non-circular tube will fit into the same incision or blood vessel as a round one. Therefore French size = 2*pi*r (where r is the radius in mm). Usually French size is considered to be 3 times the diameter in millimeters or 1Fr = 1/3mm.
