Abstract
An ostomy collecting system has a collecting bag having an inlet opening in a bag wall and surrounding connecting elements for connection with a stoma, and a carrier device for the collecting bag. Which is a base plate and a substantially annular first flange connected to the base plate via a first connecting section. The connecting elements comprise a substantially annular second flange, fixedly connected to the collecting bag via a substantially annular second connecting section. The two flanges are connected with the base plate and the collecting bag, respectively, in such a manner that the outer radius of said second connecting section exceeds the outer radius of said first connecting section by a value which at least equals the total thickness of the two flanges. The collecting bag, carrier device connections is provided by adhesive on said second flange capable of repeated adhesion with the first flange, and the two flanges are made from a flexible and resilient material and can be as discs of cellular plastic material.
