I guess this is a concern for every or at least at the back of your mind maybe and maybe we all have a story to tell! Fortunately, I don't wear one but I did in hospital and had a pretty scarey experience thanks to a male nurse! 
The new Melio Self-Emptying Leg Bag System© empties your leg bag with a push of a button – and it tells you when it’s time! Besides its’ obvious convenience, Melio is known to increase independence by:
◾Eliminating embarrassing drips or leaks – by the push of a button you can empty this leg bag. This way you don’t have to move your leg or get your hands wet.
◾Eliminating backflow – let the built-in sensor alert you when the bag is full. With this reminder, you can avoid backflows.
◾Reduce the risk of a UTI – without the hassle of emptying your leg bag, it helps to encourage proper hydration, which in return can reduce the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections.
◾Keeping it simple – the Melio Self-Emptying Leg Bag System not only relieves individuals of the everyday struggle of emptying their leg bag, but it helps to improve their quality of life by being discrete and easy to use.
You can empty the urine bag without raising your leg using the extended Discharge Tube. Place the tube under your clothing and tuck it into your waistband for easy access. Different lengths are available to meet your needs.
The Leg Bag, Pump and Discharge Tube are an integrated, disposable unit. The controller is rechargeable and is designed to last for years with reasonable care.
