Using Stomico Ostomy Pliers with Convex Skin Barriers/Wafers
The new Stomico Ostomy Pliers quickly and easily cut the correct size stoma openings in convex skin barriers/wafers. Cutting disc sizes ranging from 17MM to 43 MM allow you to custom fit the stoma opening for your particular needs. You can quickly and easily cut a clean, no jagged edge hole.
The Stomico Ostomy Pliers are an easy to use alternative to ostomy scissors. The ergonomic handles are designed to provide a comfortable grip while delivering the leverage necessary to effectively punch a clean hole with no jagged edges in the skin barrier/wafer. There is no repetitive motion which can lead to the potential of future injury.
With practice of just 1 or 2 times, it only takes seconds to punch a clean, consistent hole in your convex ostomy appliance.
