Product Description
The Osto-EZ-Vent is a leading Ostomy product for any manufacturers' pouch. Whether you're a Colostomate or Ileostomate, have a one piece, two piece, drainable, or closed end pouch, the OEV provides easy, quick access for a better alternative to burping or opening the bottom with less mess, less bother and more security.
The Osto-EZ-Vent was specifically designed without a filter to quickly release air build up on demand. This ability aids in reducing pouch explosions and loose wafers. Because it is not a filtering device, the Osto-EZ-Vent works efficiently, lasts as long as the pouch, does not become ineffective in water, and is easy to install and use.
Pinch down on the Osto-EZ-Vent Glides to open. The Glides push against the OEV base to help lift up and open the OEV. When the OEV is closed, the Glides lie down so they don't catch on clothing.
Every component of the Osto-EZ-Vent is made and assembled in the USA. This allows us at KEM Enterprises, Inc. to effectively monitor the Osto-EZ-Vent and keep standards high.
The Osto-EZ-Vent is sold in packages of ten (10).

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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!
My only complaint is that occasionally when I remove the button from the vent, the gas doesn’t release. When this happens, which is rare, I just use a toothpick to fully open the hole which should have been created when the vent was attached.
