Strips of fabric material designed to be wrapped around the torso of an individual (i.e., a belt) for the purpose of supporting an ostomy appliance (i.e., pulling the appliance into more firm contact with the skin and/or supporting the weight of the appliance pouch). Ostomy belts typically incorporate the ability to adjust the length of the strap to fit users of different torso sizes. Ostomy belts frequently incorporate tabs that connect to belt tabs on the ostomy appliance flange or pouch. Alternatively, ostomy belts may incorporate a pressure plate intended to fit over the top of the ostomy appliance flange.
