I have a lot of ostomy bags with several different size openings. These were given to me by a friend. I would say I have about 100 but no flanges to fit them... Anyone have any suggestions? Like maybe we ccould barter, So many bags for so many flanges... Let me know

maybe you could phone the manufacturer and ask for samples of what you need in the relevant sizes...

or donate them to your stoma nurse...

or donate them to ostomy angels, its a site that gives away free ostomy products to needy americans

...or maybe talk to HollywoodCat, who just mentioned in the post before you that he needs supplies.

Also, donating to your local ostomy support group is an option...if you have one way up there at Slave Lake! If not, maybe start one!

Friends of Ostomates World-Wide is OK too, but the cost of mailing is pretty high.
