How Uro Concepts Reimagined Catheter Use
By Celeste Bonham, Founder of Uro Concepts, Inc.
I am often asked how a person who made her career in “The Industry” (entertainment, that is) came to find herself launching life-changing urological products. Though I could have never foreseen life’s little twists and turns, I couldn’t be more happy and fulfilled with Uro Concepts, Inc. and this path that I’m on.
Urological Necessity Became the Mother of a Urinary Leg Bag Invention
My father, after prostate surgery, became incontinent and the hospital discharged him in diapers. A retired military officer, he became depressed and lost his will for life. He set in a rocking chair all day and moped.

He did not want people to visit. He was very sad. My mother, wanting to help him be happy again, learned about the leg bag system with leg straps. Once he started using leg bags, his will for life was renewed! HOWEVER, that darn leg bag kept falling down and disengaging and causing him embarrassment.
My mother, a great lady, ask me to find a way to hold the leg bag and keep it from falling down his leg. I complained, “I know nothing about incontinence or urine. Get someone else. I am going back to motion pictures!” She asked me again and again and again and again—until I finally said I would look into it.
What a beautiful couple! Celeste Bonham’s parents are dancing on their wedding night.
The first thing I did was get samples of every product on the market that was used by patients experiencing incontinence. I remember having a large box full of urology samples and taking it to my attorney’s office. I emptied the box on his conference table and said to him, “Have you ever seen an uglier group of products?!?” At that moment, looking down at condoms, leg bags, etc., I made the decision to improve this market and make better products.
My first product was the patented undergarment leg bag holder. I will never forget the wonderfully big smile on my father’s face—I invented the leg bag holder just for him. I soon discovered that there are many people having the same experience that my father had. I closed the script and entered the urology market with Uro Concepts, Inc.!
