English term or phrase: 23ga cannula
Hola, la consulta es específicamente sobre la medida. En inglés corresponde a "gauge", es decir, el calibre, pero necesitaría corroborar cuál es la nomenclatura en castellano. Con Google hemos encontrado "G", "calibre 23" (para este ejemplo), e incluso "ga", igual que en inglés. ¿Alguien puede iluminarnos al respecto? Buscamos la forma abreviada, por ser un listado de instrumentos quirúrgicos.
Muchas gracias.

Explanation:
No creo que haga falta poner "(G) ya que "ga" = gauge en inglés.

The following is a simple test to help you understand what type of problem you have. The idea is to continuously dispense liquid from a known tip and measure how long it takes, on average, for a drop to form and then fall off. A relationship known as Tate's Law predicts the volume of liquid that can be supported by a tip of known diameter. (We assume the liquid wets to the outside diameter.) For water, Tate's Law predicts the following volumes:
 17 GA, 1.499mm OD, 35.0ul
 18 GA, 1.270mm OD, 29.7ul
 19 GA, 1.067mm OD, 24.9ul
 20 GA, 0.914mm OD, 21.3ul
 21 GA, 0.813mm OD, 19.0ul
 22 GA, 0.711mm OD, 16.6ul
 23 GA, 0.635mm OD, 14.8ul
 24 GA, 0.584mm OD, 13.6ul
 25 GA, 0.508mm OD, 11.9ul
 26 GA, 0.457mm OD, 10.7ul
 27 GA, 0.406mm OD, 9.48ul
