摘要

Gauze assembly for reinforcing a stoma, comprising a reinforcing gauze with an ingrowth side and an intestinal side so that the reinforcing gauze can grow into a tissue on one side, which reinforcing gauze comprises a stoma opening with flaps which extend substantially towards the centre point of the stoma opening, which reinforcing gauze furthermore comprises a stoma access path, wherein the gauze assembly furthermore comprises a handling gauze connected with the intestinal side of said flaps so that said handling gauze can be positioned in a substantially tubular form through said stoma opening and hence said flaps can be folded at least partly towards the ingrowth side.
