6 French sheath?
Subject: 6 French sheath?

Sounds like 6-French sheath. Not sure about the "sheath" part, and how do I format 6-French? No. Six French?
6 French "raabe" sheath
Subject: 6 French "raabe" sheath

The doctor spells this out more than once during the report but I've never heard this term before, my medical spellchecker doesn't recognize it, and I can't verify it on Google. Any help would be great!

Following the percutaneous intervention and completion arteriogram of the right external iliac artery, the wires catheters were withdrawn. Please note also just prior to the percutaneous intervention, a full dose of systemic intravenous heparin was given and an ACT was maintained above 200. In addition the short 5 French sheath was changed out over a Magic Torque wire to a long 6 French "raabe" sheath. Following the intervention, the long sheath was then exchanged over the same wire to a short 6 French sheath.

Used in radiofrequency ablation of saphenous vein.  I can hear a "6" but not so sure of the "vent" part.  The "6-vent" sheath was inserted over the guide wire.  Anyone heard of this?

Does this make sense to anyone as part of Physical examination under Neck:  ..demonstrates full range of motion of his neck without pain or "sheath line" pain to palpation?  This definitely sounds like "sheath line" pain to me.  Is there anything I'm missing that would sound like this??

Just throwing this out there, but I was corrected many times that a french is a unit of measure, not French as in from France. Would not be capitalized. 3 french = 1 mm.

Subject: french

I have seen both ways. However, it is french, not French (as in from France). A french is a unit of measure and not capilalized, just as you would not capitalize inch, foot, etc.

It has been that way for years. Tessier Surgical Word Book has it as French under catheters as well as other items, French dilator, French cystoscope, etc.
