Thank you for pointing out the measurement correction ...it is a 'generic' length that we use in the hospital. The actual catheter length is 57mm which is 2 1/4 inches long........I should have been specific...the 2 1/2 inch length is the needle that is removed when the 2 1/4 inch catheter is in place....
thanks...
ss
