What's Included?

  • 20 x Genii Flange Extenders

Who is the Genii Box of 20 Flange Extenders For?

These flange extenders are built to provide versatile support to any ostomy bag. They are, therefore, perfect for anyone who has undergone a:

  • Colostomy
  • Urostomy
  • Ileostomy

How Can the Genii Silicone Flange Extenders Help?

The Genii Silicone Flange Extenders give supplementary support to leaky or insecure ostomy pouches, so you can feel comfortable and secure. Their construction targets a variety of areas to ensure a seamless experience:

  • Built from non-absorbent silicone to avoid breakdown even in hot climates or when swimming and bathing
  • Features high tack adhesion for the most secure fit possible
  • Built from a flexible material which allows free and natural skin movement
  • Removable in one piece with your pouch to facilitate an easy and painless pouch change
  • Easily adjustable to ensure your support is versatile
  • Allows skin to breath in order to prevent sweating - one of the most common causes of adhesion loss

How Do These Flange Extenders Work?

These flange extenders offer extra adhesion to prevent the base plate of your ostomy bag from lifting away from your skin. The breathable material of the extenders allows the skin to breath as normal, preventing sweat which is one of the primary causes of leaking.

How Do the Genii Silicone Extenders Differ from Other Stoma Adhesives?

Unlike conventional hydrocolloid seals, the silicone of these flange extenders does not absorb moisture or body waste. This prevents them from breaking down in order to maximise your comfort and security, as well as the lifespan of your pouch.

Unlike many conventional ostomy adhesives, the natural flexibility of this material also allows Genii Silicone Flange Extenders to move naturally with your body. This gives you support and security without limiting your movement or causing discomfort.

Are These Flange Extenders Clean and Hygienic?

Yes, the Genii Silicone Flange Extenders are designed to make your ostomy routine as clean, hygienic and discreet as is possible.

Will These Flange Extenders Prevent My Ostomy Pouch From Leaking?

These extenders have been designed in the knowledge that your stoma is likely to be on a part of your body that is constantly moving and creasing. By not absorbing any moisture or body waste they prevent the seal from degrading and leaking. Their flexible material should also maintain a firm hold in spite of movement or creasing.

Can I Use These Flange Extenders at Night?

The Genii Silicone Flange Extenders are designed to last the same amount of time as your pouch, keeping its seal firm, even at the most vulnerable times, such as when you are sleeping. These extenders should give you security to sleep through the night without feeling anxiety about your pouch leaking.

Are These Flange Extenders Waterproof?

Yes, the silicone material of this extender is waterproof and is suitable for use when swimming and bathing. However, you should ensure your skin and the base plate material is dry when applying the flange extender to guarantee a firm attachment.

How Do I Apply the Genii Silicone Flange Extenders?

  1. Remove the tabs marked 1
  2. Position the flange extender on the area of your ostomy pouch which needs additional adhesion
  3. Smooth the extender down so it seals properly
  4. Remove the external tabs marked 2
  5. If you need to adjust the extender, you can gently lift one end and reposition

How Do I Remove the Extender and Bag?

There is no need to change your standard routine when removing the flange extender and ostomy bag. When you remove your ostomy pouch the extender will come off in one piece, leaving no residue. This allows for a quick, easy and clean pouch change.

Do These Flange Extenders Absorb Moisture?

The silicone of these extenders does not absorb moisture or body waste from your bag. This has two key consequences: the first is that each extender remains hygienic until you need to remove the pouch. This reduces seepage to ensure your comfort and discretion.

The second is that the extender itself will not break down. This eliminates stickiness while minimising the risk of skin irritation. Since it holds firm for a longer period of time, this also maximises the wear time of bag.

*Please note - these ostomy seals were formerly sold as Silex™, but have now been re-branded as Genii™. The function and quality of this product remains entirely the same and has not been affected by the re-brand.*
