is there any odor filtration option with this vent

One way to control odor is place a breath strip, such as Listerine Breath Strips, at the base of the pouch. On a drainable pouch, simply fold back the bottom, as when draining the pouch, place the breath strip just above the fold inside the pouch. Lower fold and roll up and clap. When you open the Osto-EZ-Vent, or empty the pouch you will be greeted with fresh scent. Very Happy These strips can be purchased in bulk at Sam's Club. (A little mouthwash may also work in a one piece or closed end pouch).

M-9 made by Hollister, or STOP ODOR made by Montreal Ostomy are odor control drops for pouches. Both products can be purchased through most major suppliers, or catalog companies such as Edgepark Surgical, Liberty Medical, Byram Healthcare, etc.
