Frequently asked questions
What does French size mean on a catheter?
French (Fr) is the outer diameter of a catheter or tube: 1 Fr equals 1/3 mm, so a 10 Fr drain is about 3.3 mm across and a 14 Fr drain about 4.7 mm. Larger sizes drain thick fluid such as pus or blood better; smaller sizes are more comfortable.
What is a locking pigtail catheter?
A drainage catheter whose tip curls into a loop (the pigtail) that is held in shape by pulling an internal string, which helps keep the catheter from slipping out of the kidney, bile ducts or a collection.
Is a nephrostomy tube the same as a nephrostomy catheter?
Yes. A nephrostomy tube is a drainage catheter placed through the skin into the kidney, usually 8 to 12 Fr with a locking pigtail. Filter this page by Nephrostomy to see the options.
What is a biliary drain?
A catheter placed through the skin and liver into the bile ducts to drain blocked bile, either externally into a bag or internally into the bowel (internal-external drain). Common sizes are 8 to 12 Fr.
