French (catheter Scale)
The French scale, also known as the French gauge or Charrière system, is a widely used measurement system for the size of catheters. It is commonly abbreviated as Fr but may also be abbreviated as Fg, FR or F, and less frequently as CH or Ch (referencing its inventor, Charrière). However, the term ''gauge'', abbreviated ''G'' or ''ga'', typically refers to the Birmingham gauge for hypodermic needles. The French scale measures and is proportional to the outer diameter of a catheter, with 1 French (Fr) defined as millimeter, making the relationship: 1 mm = 3 Fr. Thus, the outer diameter of a catheter in millimeters can be calculated by dividing the French size by 3. For example, a catheter with a French size of 9 would have an outer diameter of approximately 3mm. While the French scale aligns closely with the metric system, it introduces redundancy and the potential for rounding errors. This metrication problem is further complicated in medical contexts where metric and im ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

French Kiss
A French kiss, also known as cataglottism or a tongue kiss, is an amorous kiss in which the participants' tongues extend to touch each other's lips or tongue. A kiss with the tongue stimulates the partner's lips, tongue and mouth, which are sensitive to the touch and induce sexual arousal. The sensation when two tongues touch—also known as tongue touching—has been proven to stimulate endorphin release and reduce acute Stress (psychological), stress levels. Extended French kissing may be part of making out. The term originated at the beginning of the 20th century in America and Great Britain, as the French had acquired a reputation for more adventurous and passionate sex practices. French kissing may be a mode for disease transmission, particularly if there are open wounds.
