  In this work, we study quantum error-correcting codes obtained by using
Steane-enlargement. We apply this technique to certain codes defined from
Cartesian products previously considered by Galindo et al. in [4]. We give
bounds on the dimension increase obtained via enlargement, and additionally
give an algorithm to compute the true increase. A number of examples of codes
are provided, and their parameters are compared to relevant codes in the
literature, which shows that the parameters of the enlarged codes are
advantageous. Furthermore, comparison with the Gilbert-Varshamov bound for
stabilizer quantum codes shows that several of the enlarged codes match or
exceed the parameters promised by the bound.
