Albuquerque, NM (1888PressRelease) May 25, 2015 - Albert Medical Devices, maker of Melio - the revolutionary self-emptying leg bag system that you can control with a touch of a button (and tells you when it's time),proudly announces the expansion of Melio's availability in the United States through a new distribution partnership with ABC Medical, one of the nation's premier providers of urological and continence care supplies.

"We are delighted to work in partnership with ABC Medical, as this gives more people across the US access to the Melio self emptying leg bag system through Medicare, Medicaid or private insurers. Since launching Melio in the US earlier this year, the customer response to this revolutionary approach to managing leg bag use has been fantastic," says Dr. Matt Pearce, CEO of Albert Medical.

Urinary leg bags are commonly used by people who have neurogenic bladder due to paralysis, multiple sclerosis or another condition. Most leg bag users don't realize that new technology exists through Melio that can help empty their leg bag in an easier fashion, while increasing their independence and mobility. Melio's US distribution relationship with ABC Medical aims to change that.

"At ABC Medical, we are always looking to introduce to our customers new, innovative products that can enhance their lifestyle. After meeting with Albert Medical and reviewing the technological benefits of the Melio leg bag system, we knew that this product would be a perfect option for many of the customers we serve today. We look forward to working collaboratively with Albert Medical to ensure US consumers have access to this revolutionary product," ABC Medical CEO Keith Jones states.

How Melio Works
The integrated sensor in the Melio Self-Emptying Leg Bag System© monitors the urine bag level, sending a signal to the wearer's controller when the leg bag is approximately 2/3 full.

Worn on the waistband, Melio's controller alerts the wearer when the leg bag is approximately 2/3 full via a flashing light and discreet vibration. The device also features an audio alarm. When the wearer is ready to empty the urine bag, they simply push the button on the top or bottom of the controller to activate the pump.

For users with limited dexterity, a magnetic bracelet can be worn and used to activate the pump. Users simply hold the bracelet against the front of the controller to activate it.

Additionally, users can empty the urine bag without raising their leg using Melio's extended Discharge Tube. Different tube lengths are available to meet individual needs. Both the tube and controller can be worn under clothing or tucked it into the wearer's waistband for easy access.

The Leg Bag, Pump and Discharge Tube are an integrated, disposable unit. The system's controller is rechargeable and is designed to last for years with reasonable care.
