neutral  Brita Fiess (X): Yes, but why not "6F"? Actually, the "JR 40" and "JL 40" also designate the catheter type.
8 mins
  -> It can be 6F but I spelled it out for completeness.
neutral  Lirka: Yes, that's what it means, but it's never spelled out.
8 mins
  -> Sometimes it is, not always.
agree  uyuni: Sometimes (rarely) the entire word is used.
