How To Use

You'll first prepare the pouch surface, bond the vent in the optimal location, cut a precise opening, then learn how to operate the pinch-activated Glides for on-demand air release. These steps work with any 1- or 2-piece, drainable or closed-end colostomy or ileostomy pouch and help prevent ballooning without filters or mess.

1. Preparation

1. Choose Placement

• Attach the vent on the non-stoma side , near the top of the pouch body—away from the stoma opening—to avoid output spraying when you open it .

2. Expose Plastic (if covered)

• If your pouch has a fabric cover, cut or lift it only enough to expose the underlying plastic layer; do not attach over fabric or mesh .

3. Clean Surface

• Moisten a cotton pad with ≥91% isopropyl alcohol . Rub firmly until the glossy finish is removed and the surface looks matte. Allow to fully air-dry (about 30 - 60 seconds) .

2. Attaching the Vent

1. Peel and Place

• Gently peel off the white backing; avoid touching the adhesive.

• Position the vent horizontally on the cleaned area. Press around the entire circular base with firm, even pressure .

2. Bonding Time

• Let the adhesive set at room temperature (around 72°F/24°C) for 24 - 72 hours before use.

• After 72 hours, give the vent a "tug test" : if the plastic stretches rather than the adhesive peeling, the bond is secure .

3. Creating the Vent Opening

1. Align for Cut

• Fold or pull down the pouch so the vent lies opposite the stoma flange or opening.

2. Cut the Hole

• With the vent in the closed position, insert the narrow tip of scissors or clean nail clippers through the vent's circular center.

• Twist gently back and forth to cut away excess plastic until the hole matches the vent's diameter exactly .

3. Flatten and Close

• Smooth the pouch back to its normal shape and snap the vent closed . Your pouch is now ready for wear .

4. Operating the Vent

1. Open to Release Air

• Pinch DOWN on the two small Glides (tabs) on either side of the vent's top.

• The Glides will press against the base and lift the plug , creating an open pathway for gas to escape .

2. Close to Seal

• Release pressure on the Glides; they will fold flat and seal the vent securely against moisture and odor.

3. When to Vent

• Whenever you feel pouch "ballooning" or pressure build-up, simply open, release, then close. No burping or bottom-opening needed .

5. Tips & Troubleshooting

• Waterproof Performance: Because there's no filter, the vent won't clog when swimming or bathing .

• Re-use Notes: While designed for single-pouch use, some users report safely reusing vents with fresh adhesive or on new bags—though performance may vary .

• Avoid Output Spray: If output is near the vent hole, use a clean tissue to clear residue before opening .

• Compatibility Check: For bags with pre-filters (e.g., some Coloplast Sensura Mio models), install from the back side or bigger hole through the stoma wafer if needed .

Following these steps will give you a clean, reliable, and instantaneous way to manage pouch gas—no more ballooning, wafer loosening, or messy burping routines.
