Abstract
A stoma template comprising a body portion having opposing inside and outside edges and opposing first and second sides. The inside edge can define an opening extending through the body portion between the first and second sides. The first side can have a plurality of flexible segments extending between the inside and outside edges. The plurality of flexible segments can be separated from one another by grooves and have a sticky surface along the first side of the body portion. At least a portion of a flexible segment can be peelable away from the opening to form a peeled portion. The peeled portion can be foldable over a respective unpeeled portion of the flexible segment and be adherable to the sticky surface. The inside edge of the body portion can be pulled back by the peeled portion and the opening can be expanded.
