Almost but nothing surprises me these days.

Not enough curves.

Who ever heard of a Blue Rinse semen collector anyway?

You can mention it by all means

Foley catheter?

Scanfor has it.
My daily life depends on these three times a day. Without them I'd be stuck with a permanent tube and a bag strapped to my thigh, most debilitating.
I love the way the telescopic inner is attached to the base of the container and detaches once the catheter reaches full length when it locks in position. Just like Mary Poppins' hatstand.
Wonderful piece of kit.

Many people complain about Whitworth nuts/bolts/threads but they just don't realise the impact they had on engineering. His name should be celebrated, not scorned.

Oh, if , for the original Whitworth spanner sizes, you wonder about the relationship between the spanner size (specified size equals the bolt diameter) and the across flats sizing, it's mathematical. It's (square root 3) * diameter, i.e., 1.732*diameter - all due to the hexagon nut or bolt head. The length of the hex flat = the bolt diameter so the across flats = 1.732* diameter.
