Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm: The Skin Barrier at the Heart of Your Two-Piece System

Key Facts About the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm

Short description: The Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm is the foundation of the two-piece system: it protects the skin around the stoma and lets you change bags without peeling adhesive off every time, with an opening you cut to the exact stoma size.

Introduction to the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm

Life after ostomy surgery takes time and patience, whether you are the patient or the son, daughter or spouse who helps with daily care. What reassures most people in the first weeks is trusting that the appliance is secure, that the skin around the stoma is healthy, and that they can go out, work, pray and sleep without worrying about leaks. The Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm is the part that builds that trust, because it is the layer that touches the skin.

In this guide from No Style Like Pharmacy we explain the two-piece idea, how to measure the stoma and cut the opening, when to change the flange, and which signs mean you should see your stoma nurse or surgeon. We stick to what the Reno Med pack actually states and say clearly what it does not.

What Is the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm?

The Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm is an imported adhesive baseplate distributed by Reno Med (الريناد ميديكال), an Egyptian importer and distributor of medical supplies whose slogan is “Quality is a way of life”. It is a sticky skin barrier with a central opening that you cut to fit your stoma, surrounded by a coupling ring 70 mm across.

The number 70 is the size of the coupling ring the bag attaches to, not the size of your stoma. The pack does not state the barrier material or the largest diameter you can cut, so if your stoma is large or irregular, send its measurement to the pharmacy on WhatsApp before ordering and we will check it with you.

How the Two-Piece System Works With the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm

• Piece one, the flange: sticks to clean, dry skin around the stoma, shields it from output and stays in place for a few days.
• Piece two, the bag: presses onto the 70 mm ring until it clicks, and can be unclipped and changed without removing the flange.
• The practical gain: peeling adhesive off the skin several times a day tires it and causes redness; with two pieces the skin deals with one adhesive for several days.
• Flexibility: on the same flange you can use a drainable bag on some days and a closed bag on others, as long as both are 70 mm.

So the success of the whole system starts with the flange: an accurate cut and dry skin at application mean fewer leaks and longer wear.

Key Benefits of the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm

• The Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm protects the skin around the stoma from output, the single most important job in stoma care.
• Cut-to-fit opening that can be shaped for round or oval stomas.
• Bag changes without removing the flange, kinder to the skin and quicker at work or when travelling.
• Works with both the Reno Med drainable and closed 70 mm bags, so you choose the bag by output type.
• Supplied by a known Egyptian medical-supplies distributor and available online with delivery.

Real-Life Use Cases

A man in his fifties home after bowel surgery: the ward nurse taught him to measure and cut, but at home he cut the opening wide for fear of pressing on the stoma, and his skin turned red within two days. Once he cut the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm just 2-3 mm larger than the stoma, the leaks stopped and the skin settled within days.

A daughter caring for her elderly mother: her mother found it painful to peel off adhesive every day with one-piece bags. Their stoma nurse suggested a two-piece system, so now the daughter changes the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm every few days and swaps only the bag when needed, which is much gentler on her mother’s thin skin.

Who Is the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm For?

• People with a colostomy or ileostomy whose care team recommends a two-piece system.
• Users of the Reno Med 70 mm drainable or closed bags.
• People with sensitive skin who struggle with frequent adhesive removal.
• Caregivers who want quick bag changes without re-sticking every time.

When Another System May Suit You Better

• A retracted or flush stoma: your nurse may prescribe a convex baseplate; the pack does not say the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm is convex, so ask first.
• A stoma larger than the cutting area: the maximum cut size is not stated, so check with us before ordering.
• A urostomy: usually needs urostomy bags with a tap for urine; the 70 mm bags offered here are designed for bowel output.
• Limited hand use or poor eyesight: cutting and clicking may be hard; a pre-cut baseplate or a one-piece system may be easier.
• Known allergy to skin adhesives: try it under your nurse’s supervision and watch the skin.

How to Apply the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm Step by Step

1. Prepare everything first: flange, bag, curved scissors, measuring guide, soft wipes, warm water and a disposal bag.
2. Peel the old flange off gently from top to bottom while supporting the skin with your other hand.
3. Clean the skin around the stoma with warm water only and pat it completely dry; no creams or oils.
4. Measure the stoma with the guide, trace the size on the back of the flange and cut an opening 2-3 mm larger.
5. Remove the backing, place the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm from the bottom up around the stoma, then hold your palm on it gently for a minute or two; warmth helps the adhesive bond.
6. Click the bag onto the ring until you hear it lock, then tug gently to check it is secure.

Best Time to Change the Flange

Many people prefer changing the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm in the morning before eating, when the bowel is quieter and output is lower, or straight after a shower when the skin is clean. How many days to leave between changes is decided by your stoma nurse for your situation; do not wait for it to leak. If you feel itching or burning under the adhesive, change it the same day even if it is not due.

What to Expect in the First Weeks

In the first weeks after surgery the stoma is swollen and then shrinks gradually, so re-measure at every change during this period instead of relying on an old template. Over time you will learn how long the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm stays secure on your skin, and changing it becomes a routine that takes only minutes.

Common Mistakes With the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm

• Cutting the opening too wide, so output touches and irritates the skin.
• Cutting it too tight, so it rubs and may cut the stoma.
• Applying it to damp skin or skin with cream on it, which weakens the seal.
• Clicking on a bag with a coupling size other than 70 mm.
• Leaving the flange on despite itching or leaks until the skin breaks down.
• Using alcohol or harsh antiseptics on the peristomal skin without advice.

Myths and Facts

Myth: a wider opening in the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm is more comfortable for the stoma. Fact: the right opening is only 2-3 mm larger; exposed skin is the first thing to get hurt.

Myth: red skin around a stoma is normal and you have to live with it. Fact: the skin around the stoma should look like the rest of your abdomen; persistent redness is a sign that something needs adjusting.

Possible Skin Problems

• Redness or burning from output leaking under the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm, the most common problem.
• Irritation from pulling adhesive off roughly or too often.
• Rarely, allergy to the adhesive, showing as redness in the exact shape of the flange.
• Inflamed hair follicles when the flange is removed from very hairy skin.

Compatibility and Accessories for the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm

• Compatibility: the 70 mm ring must match the bag ring; it is designed for the Reno Med Drainable Ostomy Bag 70 mm and the Reno Med Closed Ostomy Bag 70 mm. We cannot guarantee a fit with other brands, even if they are labelled 70 mm.
• Stoma paste: fills gaps and creases around the stoma to improve the seal; use a small amount.
• Stoma powder: may be used by your nurse on moist, irritated skin, with the excess brushed off before applying the flange.
• Barrier wipes: leave a thin film that protects the skin from adhesive and output.
• Ask your stoma nurse before adding any of them; not everyone needs them.

Important Warnings

• Use the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm with 70 mm bags only.
• Do not put creams or oils under the adhesive unless your nurse advises it.
• Store flanges somewhere dry, away from heat and sunlight.
• Never reuse a flange once removed.
• Check the expiry date printed on the pack.

Skin and Stoma Checks at Every Change

Each time you remove the flange, look at three things: the colour of the stoma, which is usually pink or red and moist; the skin around it, whether it looks like the rest of your abdomen or is red, weepy or broken; and the back of the removed Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm. If output has tracked under the adhesive in one direction, that shows you where a more precise cut or a little paste is needed. Re-measure the stoma regularly, especially in the first months or after weight change.

What You Need With the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm

• Reno Med 70 mm bags: drainable for liquid output, closed for formed output.
• Small curved scissors kept only for cutting flanges.
• A stoma measuring guide.
• Soft unscented wipes and warm water.
• Small sealable bags for disposal.
• A small pouch with a spare flange and two bags when you go out.

Comparing the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm With the System Bags

The flange never works alone; it always pairs with one of the Reno Med bags of the same size. This table shows the role of each piece:

In short: one flange, and the bag changes with your output. The drainable bag suits people who empty several times a day, and the closed bag suits formed output when you prefer to discard the whole bag.

When to See Your Stoma Nurse or Surgeon

• Red, broken or painful skin around the stoma that does not improve after adjusting the cut.
• The stoma turns dark, purple or black: this is urgent.
• Bleeding from the stoma that does not stop with light pressure, or blood in the output.
• A bulge around the stoma that grows when you cough or stand, which may be a hernia.
• Repeated leaks under the Reno Med Ostomy Flange 70 mm despite correct cutting and fitting.
• No output together with cramps, bloating or vomiting.

A few days, as your stoma nurse advises and depending on your skin; change it at once if it leaks or itches.

Can I shower with it?

Many people shower with the appliance in place and dry the flange well afterwards. Ask your nurse about your case.

Does it fit other brands of bag?

We recommend Reno Med 70 mm bags only, because cross-brand fit is not guaranteed.

What is it made of, and what is the largest cut?

Neither is stated on the pack, so message the pharmacy on WhatsApp with your stoma size before ordering.
