The OPODD emptied the pouch very well and made attending social events and using public washrooms much easier. It was extremely important when I travelled North America recently by air and land (with the OPODD in my purse). It was just so convenient and worry-free. It didn’t matter anymore to find a private washroom.- Carol Wells

Testimonials
The compact feature of the Device is great for in, and out of the home use. I was able to take it with me at all times and it made for a more thorough cleaning of the pouch. No longer did I need to carry a supply bag; I only needed the OPODD Device and always felt very clean.- Gerald Randell

"Convenience you can depend on”, is our key phrase says Rondeau, “since it tells ostomates that we know from experience what is important to them; and the OPODD™ gave me the confidence to really live my life rather than have the surgery determine my life. When I needed to work on the truck assembly-line (from my ileostomy), the original OPODD invention was life-saving. I could work on the line, leave for a few minutes to drain the pouch cleanly in seconds, and get back to work."- Phil Rondeau

Indeed I found the OPODD very useful and always feel that the (pouch) is well and truly emptied. It now holds a very permanent place (and) I find it quick and easy to use.- Cepta Burke
Before I discovered the OPODDTM it was a slower and much less thorough job to clean my ostomy bag. Now that I have the device I know I am cleaning it out better and it is so quick and easy to do. I highly recommend the OPODDTMto any ostomate.- Captain Doug S.

I saw your wonderful product in Reno. I have presented a review of your product in our newsletter and once again last week when I was a guest speaker at the Coral Springs FL Chapter of UOAA.- ET Nurse, U.S.
My recent backpacking trips went great. The OPODDTM came with me on both of the excursions, and I LOVE the device. The device makes emptying so fast and easy... something I really appreciated when wandering a distance from camp alone in the middle of the night to empty my pouch. On the first trip we also had a cold and rainy evening and it was great to have a speedy way to empty then too. Te device worked very easily when my hands were cold and I had lost some dexterity. I plan on bringing it with me on all my wilderness trips. I love using it at home too. - Heidi Skiba
