Who It Is For

Buyers This Product Was Built For

  • Medical device importers and distributors sourcing standard urology consumables
  • Hospital group purchasing organisations procuring routine two-way drainage catheters
  • OEM and private-label distributors requiring custom packaging and brand labelling
  • Continence-care suppliers stocking short-term urinary drainage product lines
Problems It Solves

What Goes Wrong Without It

  • Thin-walled drainage lumens collapse under negative pressure, which the thicker backside wall prevents
  • Uncoated latex causes drag during insertion, which is reduced by the silicone surface coating
  • Confusion over French sizes at the bedside is addressed by standardized color-coded valves
  • Sourcing soft rubber and hard plastic valve options from different vendors is eliminated
Application Scenarios

Where It Is Used

Short-term bladder drainage requiring catheterisation for up to seven days

Routine urinary retention management in acute hospital wards and emergency units

Post-operative urinary drainage where continuous bladder irrigation is not required

Incontinence management requiring closed system urine collection in hospital settings

Manufacturing

How It Is Made

  • Latex catheter shafts are formed on automated dipping lines to control wall dimensions
  • Cylindrical balloons are assembled and positioned centrally on automatic assembly lines
  • Backside reinforcement is formed into the drainage channel to prevent lumen collapse
  • Shafts receive silicone surface coating or optional hydrophilic coating before inspection
  • Units are sealed in PE inner bags and paper-film pouches before ethylene oxide sterilization
Quality Control

What Is Checked Before It Ships

  • Balloon symmetry and central positioning verified during automated assembly
  • Valve seal integrity inspected across soft rubber and hard plastic valve variants
  • Lumen patency and wall thickness checked to verify negative pressure resistance
  • Manufacturing sites Nineluck works with hold CE, FDA and ISO approvals
Customization

What Can Be Changed For Your Brand

  • Choice between soft rubber valve and hard plastic valve configurations
  • Standard silicone coated, hydrophilic coated or golden color finish options
  • Private-label packaging artwork, pouch printing and carton shipping marks
  • Selected French size assortments matching regional hospital tender specifications
Comparison

How It Compares With The Alternatives

Three-Way Latex Foley CatheterThe three-way version includes an irrigation channel for bladder washout, whereas the two-way is strictly for drainage and inflation
Two-Way Silicone Foley CatheterAll-silicone catheters support longer indwelling durations up to 29 days for latex-sensitive patients, but latex provides higher material flexibility at lower unit cost
Uncoated Latex CatheterSilicone-coated latex reduces surface friction during catheter passage compared to bare natural latex
Use Guide

How It Is Used

  • Check the sterile paper-film pouch and verify the color-coded French size before opening
  • Remove the catheter using aseptic technique and inspect the balloon and drainage lumen
  • Insert through the urethra into the bladder until urine drains freely from the drainage funnel
  • Inflate the balloon via the soft rubber or hard plastic valve to the stated volume
  • Connect the drainage funnel to a sterile drainage bag and remove within seven days
