New Vent Design - Gluing for Improved Durability

Topic Explanation:
The initial post discusses a new vent design for ostomy pouches to improve durability by gluing the vent in a way that allows gas to escape but prevents clogging.

Advice and Insights:
- Gluing the vent in a way that allows gas to escape but prevents clogging seems to be working for the original poster.
- A member suggests using tape as an alternative to glue and asks about the type of glue used.
- Another member suggests contacting the pouch manufacturer's R&D department to propose the idea for potential improvement.
- Tips for applying the glue include using a pointed glue bottle, laying down a small bead of glue below the vent, and flattening it out to prevent it from getting into unwanted places.
- A suggestion is made to use a clear silicone for a more flexible alternative to glue.
- An idea is proposed to use liner material in an accordion design to block the clogging material while allowing gas to escape, which is supported by another member as worth a try.

Helpful Insights:
- A member from a different profession (Land Rover mechanic) finds the idea interesting and plans to give it a try.
- The discussion is appreciated for the experimental approach and potential functional outcomes.
