Redefining Continuous Bladder Irrigation & Haematuria Care

In urological interventions, managing gross haematuria and post-transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) requires absolute precision. The 3-way Foley catheter stands as a critical clinical device, balancing urinary drainage, balloon retention, and continuous irrigation. As a premier provider, Shanghai Ryu Medical Co., Ltd. integrates state-of-the-art polymer technology with strict clinical compliance to supply the healthcare sector with superior catheterization tools.

Unlike standard 2-way models, our 3-way catheter features an independent irrigation lumen. This third pathway allows for the continuous delivery of sterile saline directly to the bladder wall, preventing clot formations, maintaining lumen patency, and reducing post-operative pain. Developed in our advanced manufacturing facility in Jiangsu Province, we leverage a decade of research to guarantee zero-defect balloon structural integrity and optimized lumen flow dynamics.

  • Medical-grade liquid silicone rubber (LSR) for biocompatibility up to 29 days.
  • Optimized irrigation channel configuration reducing bladder spasms.
  • Large drainage lumen matching high-volume flow under low gravity conditions.

Technical Excellence & Engineering Architecture

A look inside the hydrodynamics, material coatings, and exact specifications that separate medical-grade 3-way Foley catheters from generic medical tubes.

Hydrodynamic Lumens

We maximize the inner diameter of the drainage lumen without compromising the outer French (Fr) size. The concentric design ensures that particulate matter and blood clots pass freely, minimizing blockages during active haematuria episodes.

Medical Grade Silicone

Constructed from premium medical-grade silicone that resists encrustation and biofilm attachment. The material is chemically inert, thermosensitive, and softens at body temperature to enhance patient comfort and lower CAUTI risks.

Symmetrical Balloon

Our inflation technology relies on computer-controlled dipping and curing, resulting in high balloon concentricity. Upon inflation (ranging from 30cc to 50cc depending on size), it seats perfectly at the bladder neck, avoiding lateral pressure ulcers.

Clinical Application Profiles

3-Way Foley Catheters are vital across diverse critical care departments. Below are the optimized deployment profiles for international markets.

Continuous Bladder Irrigation (CBI) Protocol

Following surgeries like TURP, prostatectomy, or bladder tumor resections, significant venous or arterial bleeding can pool in the bladder cavity. Continuous Bladder Irrigation (CBI) is initiated via a 3-way catheter. By introducing sterile irrigation solution into the third port, clinicians dilute blood concentrations, inhibiting clot formation that could otherwise cause painful urinary retention or severe bladder distension.

French Size (Fr) Color Code Balloon Volume Ideal Clinical Indication
18 Fr Red 30 mL Mild haematuria, standard post-op recovery in females or small-build males.
20 Fr Yellow 30 mL Moderate clot formation, routine TURP flushing, general adult male patients.
22 Fr Purple 30 mL - 50 mL Severe macroscopic haematuria, high-volume irrigation to prevent tissue adhesion.
24 Fr Blue 30 mL - 50 mL Heavy bleeding with large clot evacuation, intensive care post-trauma management.

China Supply Chain Resilience & Manufacturing Infrastructure

Strategically positioned to manage high-capacity global demand with reliable logistical pathways and advanced cleanroom standards.

Located in the heart of China's high-tech manufacturing sector, our primary production facility in Jiangsu Province lies within close proximity to Shanghai Port. This geographical advantage enables streamlined sea, air, and rail transport, cutting down international lead times and optimizing freight costs.

At Shanghai Ryu Medical Co., Ltd., we recognize the volatile nature of global medical supply lines. By pairing our primary factory output (focused on core medical disposables including syringes, infusion sets, gloves, and face masks) with our network of 5+ dedicated strategic partners specializing in high-grade urine bags, surgical gowns, medical tubing systems, and wound dressings, we supply comprehensive, single-source clinical packages to global distributors.

Through synchronized manufacturing schedules, raw material stockpiles (importing highest-purity silicone elastomers), and redundant production lines, we shield our partners from supply shortfalls. Whether responding to custom OEM requirements or scaling production for public health tenders, we deliver consistent, bulk-supply reliability.

Logistics & Strategic Partner Integration

  • Raw Material Control: Consistent procurement of medical grade TPU, silicone, and latex.
  • Zero-Disturbance Port Access: Less than 3 hours transit time to Shanghai shipping terminals.
  • Strategic Portfolio: Extended distribution capabilities for diagnostic kits, surgical drapes, and wound care.
  • Custom Packaging: Multi-language sterile blister packaging optimized for European and American clinical spaces.

Technological Roadmap & Future Outlook

How Shanghai Ryu Medical is driving innovations in patient safety, biocompatibility, and intelligent drainage monitoring.

  • Antimicrobial Surface Treatments

    Developing silver alloy and nitrofurazone-impregnated silicone catheters to inhibit bacterial colonization and mitigate Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) for up to 30 days.

  • Hydrophilic Coating Innovations

    Introducing ultra-low friction hydrophilic outer coatings. Upon contact with sterile water, the surface hydrates into a smooth gel layer, minimizing mucosal abrasion during insertion and removal.

  • Integration of Micro-Sensor Technology

    Prototyping smart drainage lines containing temperature and pH micro-sensors, allowing real-time clinical assessment of renal perfusion and localized infection markers directly from the bladder.

Quality Assurance & Global Certifications

Our adherence to CE, ISO, and rigorous quality check protocols ensures patient safety is preserved at every production stage.

Clinical & Procurement FAQ

Answers to essential clinical, engineering, and logistical questions from medical professionals and procurement managers.

1. What are the clinical indications of a 3-way Foley catheter over a standard 2-way catheter?
A 3-way Foley catheter is specifically indicated for situations requiring continuous bladder irrigation (CBI). The addition of a third port allows for the continuous, closed-circuit instillation of sterile saline solution. This is essential for patients suffering from gross haematuria, post-TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), or post-biopsy bleeding, as it flushes away blood clots and prevents urinary blockage. A 2-way catheter lacks this channel, forcing clinicians to manually flush the bladder via a syringe, which increases CAUTI risk.
2. Why is 100% silicone preferred over silicone-coated latex for bladder irrigation?
100% medical-grade silicone is chemically inert, non-allergenic (latex-free), and contains no plasticizers. It features wider internal lumens compared to latex catheters of the same external French size, which increases flow rate and clot clearance. Furthermore, pure silicone resists encrustation and biofilm formation, allowing for longer indwelling periods (up to 28-29 days) under clinical supervision.
3. How does Shanghai Ryu Medical ensure balloon reliability and prevent structural failure?
Our balloons undergo 100% inflation testing in pressurized chambers before packaging. We utilize uniform dipping processes that guarantee symmetrical walls. This prevents asymmetrical inflation (which can cause patient pain and lead to urine bypassing the bladder neck) and ensures the balloon can withstand standard indwelling tension without premature deflation or rupturing.
4. Can I customize the packaging and sizes of Foley catheters for regional medical tenders?
Yes. Shanghai Ryu Medical supports extensive OEM and ODM customization. We can adjust the French sizes (from 16 Fr up to 26 Fr for 3-way models), custom-design blister packs with regional regulatory labeling, and supply localized instruction guides. Our team has over 10 years of experience managing custom requirements for national health tenders in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
5. What is the typical lead time for shipping from your Jiangsu factory?
Since our main production plant is located in Jiangsu Province, near Shanghai Port, we can load and dispatch containers with high efficiency. Standard container orders are completed and processed within 25 to 40 days depending on personalization parameters. We also manage consolidated shipping for partners purchasing mixed batches of syringes, infusion sets, and urine bags.
