Flange extenders improve the adhesion of the baseplate by increasing the adhesive area and preventing it from lifting, no matter your lifestyle or body shape. This can increase wear time of your stoma pouch, prevent leaks and reduce anxiety so you can feel secure to do the things you love.
Made from skin-friendly hydrocolloid, StoCare Extend stoma flange extenders flex to fit different body shapes, helping keep stoma appliances secure even during physical activity. Our unique flange extenders are notched for natural fit and tapered edges mean they are seamlessly flush to your skin.

Stoma flange extenders are sometimes also referred to as stoma tape, barrier strips, retention strips or even “bananas” due to their shape. Flange extenders are a rounded piece of adhesive which are designed to improve the security of a stoma bag by increasing the adhesive area of the flange/baseplate. Using StoCare Extend, you only need two flange extenders to gain full 360 degree coverage of your baseplate. Stoma flange extenders can be made from a range of materials – StoCare Extend is made from hydrocolloid which is sticky, flexible and gentle on skin.
Many ostomates use flange extenders to increase their confidence that their stoma appliance will stay in place throughout the day, no matter what they get up to. You may benefit from using flange extenders as part of your stoma bag change routine if you find that your stoma bag often lifts or peels off at the edges. This could be due to an active lifestyle, an uneven skin surface or moisture compromising the seal.
