Portuguese term or phrase: cateter não muito calibroso
Is there a specific term for this sort of catheter, or can I simply say "using a light/small catheter..."???
The full context follows:-

A colocação de um cateter não muito calibroso (20G) em uma artéria permite que quantidade suficiente de sangue seja coletada, pois a pressão sanguínea do paciente funciona como “bomba”.
