Abstract: The low profile ostomy system includes an adhesively securable repositionable pouch that bonds to a body-side mounting wafer. The repositionable pouch is removable from the mounting wafer for repositioning if necessary. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a resealable tape, which is in the form of a foam tape, is located on a face plate of the pouch and a releasable film, which is backed by a foam tape, is located on a body-side mounting wafer. The face plate of the pouch is formed with an extension tab that is accessible before and after the pouch has been secured to the body-side mounting wafer. The extension tab facilitates peeling of the face plate from the body-side mounting wafer during removal of the pouch from the mounting wafer. The foam tape on the body-side mounting wafer and the face plate inhibit formation of wrinkles or kinks at the engagement surfaces of the face plate and body-side mounting wafer when the pouch is removed from the body-side mounting wafer.
