## Abstract

An ostomy base plate includes an adhesive for attaching the ostomy base plate to a surface of skin, an inner edge defining a hole sized for receiving a stoma, and a backing layer. The adhesive is disposed on a proximal side of the backing layer. The ostomy base plate has a pulling tab attached at an outer edge of the ostomy base plate. The pulling tab forms an angle with the backing layer of less than 90° when no force is applied to the pulling tab.
