What sizes do catheters come in?

Catheters come in various sizes, typically measured by French (Fr) gauge, where one French unit equals 0.33 mm in diameter. Common sizes range from 6 Fr to 34 Fr, with specific sizes chosen based on the patient's needs and the procedure being performed.

Can you mix tire sizes?

Generally no for vehicles that were not designed to use differing tire sizes. For vehicles designed to use equal sizes, using different sizes can lead to unsafe handling quirks. This is especially true for using different sizes on the left and right of front or the rear. That is why a limited use spare tire has restrictions on speed, etc.
