A. The internal segment of the standard adult length catheter is 11 centimeters. The diameter is 9 french. SCOOP catheters are available in 9 cm and 13 cm lengths as well. A perfectly positioned catheter is normally 2-4 cm above the carina. The post procedure chest x-ray is used to determine which length catheter is best for each patient.
