Abstract: A package for a disposable ostomy receiving bag, the package including a first compartment capable of accommodating a fresh ostomy receiving bag and a second compartment capable of accommodating a used ostomy receiving bag. The second compartment is sealable so as to confine the receiving bag which facilitates the handling of fresh and used bags and renders the user more independent of the availability of a lavatory.

Abstract: A flange for a medical collecting bag having an aperture allowing bodily fluids or exudates to enter the bag. The flange has an inner rim delimiting the aperture therein, and a central area encircling the aperture, which area has a predetermined weakening line pattern. The force needed for removing the bag flange from the skin or a body side member is smaller than the force needed for breaking the weakening lines which enables a simple gradual enlargement of the aperture of an ostomy device for adaptation of the aperture to the size of the stoma or for adaptation of the aperture to the size of a wound, as well as a complete removal of the bag flange when substituting the bag.
