A stoma opening hole cutter is used to cut a round opening in a compatible ostomy wafer or skin barrier. It may be used with certain cut-to-fit ostomy barriers, wafers, or baseplates when a measured stoma opening is needed.
Hole cutters can vary by cutting diameter, blade style, handle design, wafer compatibility, and intended use with specific ostomy pouching systems. Product specifications and instructions should be reviewed carefully to confirm the cutter size, barrier material compatibility, stoma opening size, and whether the tool is appropriate for the wafer or skin barrier being used.
