3. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

   The French scale measures the outer diameter of the catheter, not the size of the internal drainage channel (inner diameter). For instance, a two-way catheter of 20 Fr and a three-way catheter of 20 Fr have the same outer diameter, but the three-way catheter has an additional channel for irrigation, reducing the size of its drainage channel.

4. Syringe - Wikipedia

7. Groshong line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groshong_line

   Groshongs may be left in place for extended periods and are used when long-term intravenous therapy is needed, such as for chemotherapy.Similar to the Hickman line, the tip of the catheter is in the superior vena cava, and the catheter is tunneled under the skin to an incision on the chest wall, where the distal end of the catheter exits the body.

8. Luer taper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luer_taper

   A syringe with a male luer lock fitting, and a needle with female luer lock fitting (purple) which screws into it. The Luer taper is a standardized system of small-scale fluid fittings used for making leak-free connections between a male-taper fitting and its mating female part on medical and laboratory instruments, including hypodermic syringe tips and needles or stopcocks and needles.
