Best pouching system to filter air?

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about finding the best pouching system with an effective filter for individuals with ileostomy or urostomy. The original poster is seeking advice on filter-based products that work effectively, as they have experienced issues with filters leaking or clogging.

Advice and Insights
- Coloplast Extended Wear Sensura Click pouch with a filter has been effective for some users, but it requires daily or every other day changes and the use of ostomy deodorants to minimize odors.
- The Coloplast SenSura Mio with filter worked well for gas filtration, but some users experienced issues with wafers leaking.
- Coloplast Assura is recommended for its effectiveness in odor control.
- Osto-EZ-Vent by KEM Enterprises is a small, inexpensive, and effective venting system for gas buildup.
- Hollister New Image pouches and Cymed pouches with Gortex-covered filters are recommended for their effectiveness in gas filtration.
- Some users prefer the Convatec 2-piece system without a filter and manually burp the bag as necessary.
- The Hollister #3344 closed-end pouch with a larger bag is suggested for less frequent changes.
- Some users prefer burping the bag manually instead of using filters due to issues with clogging and leaking.
- Marlen gas relief has been effective for some users, but it may no longer be available.
