Support for an ostomy bag

摘要

The present invention provides a support for an ostomy bag, the support extending the flange of the ostomy bag to reduce the risk of leakage. The support is formed of a hydrocolloid layer shaped to fit around a flange of the ostomy bag. The support can be fitted to the flange at any appropriate location enabling the flange to be supported at the point at which it is prone to failing on a particular wearer.
