Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Catheters; Hollow probes > Introducing, guiding, advancing, emplacing or holding catheters

CPC:

Catheters; Hollow probes (dilators A61M29/00; ; for measuring or testing A61B; ) > Introducing, guiding, advancing, emplacing or holding catheters (A61M25/10 takes precedence)

CPC subdivides this area 2x more granularly than IPC with 12 additional codes.
