About Ostoh
Paul Rea is the founder of Ostoh, a company dedicated to making ostomy life easier. Ostoh’s mission is to help ostomates get back to as normal of a life as possible, beginning with the patent pending Ostoh Valve.
The Ostoh Valve is a device that attaches to the ostomy pouch. It provides ostomates with a button they can press to release gas from the pouch. It is intended to help ostomates burp their bag with less effort and more control, reducing the inconveniences associated with traditional ways of burping the ostomy pouch.
Paul endured years of digestive issues, hospitalizations, and surgeries before becoming an ostomate in 2019 after a 36 day hospitalization. While the ostomy provided a better quality of life, he quickly realized that ballooning was getting in the way of living his life. “My bag was constantly filling with gas, I had this bulge under my shirt from the ballooned bag, and I was always afraid the bag was going to pop off. I stopped wanting to leave the house because I was worried I wouldn’t find a place where I could go to burp the bag. I had to do something so I could get back to living my life. I spent months developing different options and I eventually ended up creating what became the Ostoh Valve. The Ostoh Valve is one of the only reasons I am able to live my life normally.” Paul said.
