A vented ostomy bag liner apparatus and a method for venting gas from an ostomy bag liner is described. The vented ostomy bag liner includes a flexible container having a narrowed neck portion and operably held in an ostomy bag to receive and hold body fluid in an interior volume defined by the container. The vented ostomy bag liner also includes at least one channel proximate the narrowed neck portion. The at least one channel is operable to collect gas from the body fluid in the interior volume through at least one collection portion, at least one switchback portion in communication with the at least one collection portion, and at least one venting portion in communication with the at least one switchback portion. Collected gas travels into the at least one collection portion and is caused to change direction in the switchback portion before passing into the at least one venting portion. The venting ostomy bag liner apparatus further includes at least one opening in the at least one venting portion for venting the collected gas out of the at least one venting portion. |
