An ostomy device ( 1 ) comprising a collecting bag ( 2 ) and a base plate ( 3 ) with an adhesive plate ( 4 ) for being fastened on the user, said base plate having an opening ( 5 ) for receiving an ostomy, said base plate ( 3 ) further comprising a first flange ( 7 ) for repeated and removable adhesive connection to a coupling element ( 8 ) on the collecting bag, said first flange ( 7 ) being manufactured from a material with a first tensile strength, said coupling element comprising a second flange ( 9 ) manufactured from a material with a second tensile strength, said adhesive connection being provided by at least one layer of an adhesive ( 13 ). Furthermore, the device comprises a further flexible layer ( 10 ) placed between the adhesive and the flange with the tensile strength being the lowest, and said flexible layer having a yield strength exceeding the adhesive strength of the adhesive ( 13 ). Hereby an adhesive coupling connection is obtained between bag part and body portion in such a manner that deformations and tearing out of the flange material are prevented and whereby good coupling connection is obtained without a risk of residue of adhesive agent and foam being left behind on the surface that was supposed to be clean and ready to receive an fresh, unused bag flange.
