Explore our top-tier medical line items, engineered with high-precision flow mechanics and sterile-certified materials for critical hospital operations.
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.
A look inside the hydrodynamics, material coatings, and exact specifications that separate medical-grade 3-way Foley catheters from generic medical tubes.
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.
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.
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.
3-Way Foley Catheters are vital across diverse critical care departments. Below are the optimized deployment profiles for international markets.
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. |
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.
How Shanghai Ryu Medical is driving innovations in patient safety, biocompatibility, and intelligent drainage monitoring.
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.
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.
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.
Our adherence to CE, ISO, and rigorous quality check protocols ensures patient safety is preserved at every production stage.
At Shanghai Ryu Medical Co., Ltd., we understand that medical devices operate under a zero-tolerance margin for error. We have established a robust, independent quality control (QC) department that operates continuously across all production stages in our Jiangsu facility.
Our facility and products are fully certified under CE and ISO standards, aligning with international regulatory requirements across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. From raw polymer inspection to final ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization validation, our systems are trace-documented.
"We prioritize the success of our customers. By maintaining direct control over our manufacturing parameters and utilizing independent QC personnel at every processing hub, we guarantee that all medical disposables leaving our care meet top-tier clinical parameters."
