Three-Way Silicone Foley Catheter
A three-way indwelling urethral catheter made of 100% silicone material, designed for introduction into the bladder via the urethra to provide urinary drainage and bladder flushing.
What This Product Is
A three-way indwelling urethral catheter made of 100% silicone material, designed for introduction into the bladder via the urethra to provide urinary drainage and bladder flushing. The integrated third channel carries flushing fluid, enabling post-operative bladder irrigation without requiring an additional entry device. Moulded from silicone rather than natural rubber latex, this catheter is suited for long-term catheterisation up to 29 continuous days and for patients presenting with latex allergies.
- Type: Three-way Foley catheter
- Material: 100% silicone
- Variants: Three-way, three-way with irrigation plug
- French sizes: 14Fr, 16Fr, 18Fr, 20Fr, 22Fr, 24Fr, 26Fr
Why Buyers Pick This Reference
- Three separate lumens allow continuous bladder drainage, balloon retention and fluid flushing in a single device
- Moulded from 100% silicone to eliminate natural rubber latex exposure for sensitive patients and long indwelling times
- Available in French sizes 14Fr through 26Fr with balloon sizes of 5cc or 30cc to fit hospital requirements
- Catheter shaft displays printed French size and balloon capacity to assist clinical staff during catheter placement and removal
- Packed ten pieces per box to provide practical unit handling for hospital urology stores and medical distribution channels
The Product As It Ships
How It Is Built
- Integrated three-way structure comprising a smooth tip, drainage eyelet, inflatable balloon, shaft, drainage funnel, inflation funnel and valve
- Optional configuration incorporates an irrigation funnel and flushing plug designed specifically for continuous bladder flushing procedures
- Retention balloon inflates with sterile water or saline to anchor the catheter within the bladder cavity
- Catheter shaft features clear printed markings showing the catheter French gauge size and specified balloon capacity
- Intended for continuous urethral placement up to 29 days, with cumulative use exceeding 30 days

- Catheter shaft, balloon and connector funnels are manufactured entirely from medical silicone material
- All-silicone construction contains no natural rubber latex, supporting use in latex-sensitive urinary drainage protocols
Buyers This Product Was Built For
- Medical device distributors sourcing urological consumables for hospital surgical theatres and urology wards
- Hospital tender suppliers bidding on tender specifications requiring three-way all-silicone urinary catheters
- Private-label brand owners developing catheter ranges with custom box designs and dedicated catalogue numbering
- Procurement managers requiring single-source supply across silicone urological drainage consumables and urinary accessories
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Latex catheter intolerance prevents the use of standard rubber catheters during extended post-surgical bladder flushing
- Managing irrigation through secondary lines introduces operational complexity compared to an integrated three-lumen catheter shaft
- Unmarked catheter bodies create uncertainty regarding the correct balloon filling volume when preparing for catheter deflation
- Sourcing split product lines across multiple manufacturing vendors increases regulatory documentation handling at international customs
Where It Is Used
Continuous or intermittent bladder flushing protocols requiring an irrigation channel alongside urinary drainage
Urological post-operative care where continuous bladder washout is prescribed following surgical interventions
Catheterisation cases requiring indwelling placement for continuous periods lasting up to 29 continuous days
Inpatient and outpatient catheterisation where clinical protocol excludes natural rubber latex devices entirely
How It Is Made
- Silicone material is moulded into a three-lumen shaft integrating separate drainage, balloon inflation and flushing channels
- Drainage eyelets are cut into the distal catheter tip, followed by bonding of the retention balloon
- Drainage funnel, valve and inflation funnel, alongside optional irrigation plugs, are securely assembled onto the shaft
- Balloon capacity and French specification markings are printed directly onto the silicone shaft surface
- Completed catheter units are sealed into sterile primary packaging and boxed in ten-piece sales units
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- Inflation balloon function is verified using a needleless syringe to confirm proper expansion and deflation performance
- Lumen patency is inspected to verify that urinary drainage, irrigation and balloon inflation channels remain unobstructed
- Shaft print inspection confirms balloon volume and French size match external packaging and order specifications
- Manufacturing facilities invested in by Nineluck maintain active quality management certifications under CE, FDA and ISO
What Can Be Changed For Your Brand
- OEM packaging with custom brand artwork, printed box graphics and customer-assigned catalogue numbers
- Selection of specified French gauge sizes and balloon volume combinations based on target tender requirements
- Option to order standard three-way funnels or configurations fitted with an irrigation funnel flushing plug
- Customised outer shipping cartons and export pallet labelling aligned with destination port customs requirements
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Two-Way Silicone Foley Catheter | Two-way catheters provide balloon retention and drainage at lower cost, but lack the third lumen required for bladder flushing. |
|---|---|
| Three-Way Latex Foley Catheter | Latex catheters provide irrigation lumens at lower material cost, but silicone is required for patients with documented latex allergies. |
| Intermittent Catheter | Intermittent catheters eliminate continuous indwelling exposure, but cannot provide post-surgical bladder flushing or continuous urine collection. |
How It Is Used
- Clean and disinfect the external urethral entrance and patient vulva prior to initiating catheter insertion
- Open the sterile pouch using sterile gloves, and test balloon inflation and deflation using a needleless syringe
- Lubricate the silicone shaft with water-soluble lubricant such as glycerin before introducing it into the urethra
- Advance the catheter into the bladder until urine drains, then advance an additional three to four centimetres
- Inflate the retention balloon with the specified volume of sterile water or saline using a needleless syringe
- Tightly attach the catheter drainage funnel to a sterile urinary drainage collection bag to maintain a closed circuit
- Deflate the balloon fully using a needleless syringe or by shaft sectioning before carefully withdrawing the catheter
