Available in Straight, Crescent and Y shapes, Brava® Elastic Strips’ elastic construction features thinner edges that can be secured to and remain on the skin without moving around or peeling off. Constructed like tape, Brava® Elastic Strips attach to the edges of a barrier while its shapes are compatible with several types of baseplates.

• Crescent shaped strips are ideal for oval-shaped baseplates and sealing the corners of certain square-shaped baseplates.
• Straight strips are ideal for square-shaped baseplates, aligning directly with its angles.
• The Y-shape provides a wider strip, which delivers more support for outward areas, including a hernia. In turn, the wearer has the freedom to bend and stretch without the ostomy bag coming loose.

• Ease of application and adaptability help the user get a secure hold.
