Osto-EZ-Vent

Best thing ever for colostomy bag

Follow instructions!!!! Or they'll fall off. But if used right, they are life changing. And this is the brand recommended through my ostomy clinic. I'm

I've found these to be easy to put on, and I haven't had any trouble with them at all. If you're tired of ostomy bag vents getting clogged up, then this is a solution - it lets you burp the bag without having to pop it off the wafer or open the bottom.

These are a necessity for my dad and his ostomy bag. He is a real gassy guy and the vent allows him to stink up the place without making a mess by opening his bag . On the flip side they are overly priced for such tiny items!

These are great, and I hope the creator eventually makes a ton of money off it when the pouch manufacturers finally get smart and add the technology to the pouches. Simple to install, works well. Relieves the gas in the pouch, while also relieving your stress from having to vent a bag while out and about. No more possible mess while trying to pop the pouch seal.Although the profile is low, I do turn over the top of the pouch to fold this in and protect it from accidentally getting caught. To open the vent, just squeeze on the tabs on the side. I suggest making sure you are NOT putting pressure on the bag right then to avoid any output being pushed into the hole of the vent. Otherwise, let out the pressure, recap the vent, spray a little deodorizer if (especially if you are out a public restroom), and off you go.I put tape over the usual carbon filter vent on the pouch now, and just use the Osto-EZ-Vent. Those filter vents are a joke anyway. Once they get any output on the inner surface they just smell all the time, and as a pressure release they just don't work fast enough. By taping over the filter, and being able to easily vent the bag with the Osto-EZ-Vent, I don't have that constant "perfume" happening.Thanks Osto-EZ-Vent!

What the hell did you change? I loved this product. It made life so much easier. But now, the adhesive doesn't stick and it makes life even worse. For years, I've previously gone weeks with the same bag and vent with no problems. Now I've had 4 vents fall off in the last week resulting in disaster. Beyond disappointed.

This was a fantastic product for the first year I used it. No tears, leaks, or problems with the closure. Something is wrong with the production as the clasps do not stay closed, their isn't click to tell you it is secure. It pops open easily and is venting gas. So disappointed as this was such a great innovation and the only one out there with good reviews please fix the manufacturing as I will stop purchasing until I hear of a product improvement.

This product is a little awkward to use, and they are a little large in thickness, but they definitely are worth the money for what they are designed to do. I wish that I had known that they sold these sooner, because I would have been able to save myself a LOT of money in my first year of having to use a Colostomy bag. Be careful that you do not put holes in your Ostomy Bag that you did not intend to put into them when you cut a hole in the bag to install this product.I purchased this product to seal holes that I accidently cut into my Colostomy Bags when I cut the openings to fit my Stoma. Poking even a small hole in a Colostomy Bag will instantly RUIN a VERY EXPENSIVE product and render it useless. I use this product to salvage the bags that I accidently poke a hole into and thus I would normally have to throw it away. This product works very well for its intended purpose, and will easily pay for itself with the salvage of even just one Colostomy Bag that I would normally have to just throw out if I accidently poke a hole into it.Now, I just wish that they would make a Colostomy Bag Repair Ring for the Colostomy Bag Backing Skin Barrier Interface when I accidently cut a hole that is the wrong size or that is too big to accurately fit my stoma into my custom fit Colostomy Bags.
