I have been using a cuticle scissors at home and a nail file to file it down...Because using the angled one I was taught to use was too hard for my hands every time....Even tried a box cutter once...What do you find that works to get a perfect stoma hole?

Hi there,

It's nice to have an ostomy nurse on here. You are a great asset to this wonderful site. You may get a lot of attention. :)

I just saw one of those at JoAnne's fabric store and was thinking that would be interesting to try. Of course, I was looking for some sewing toys at the time. May have to go back to that and look again. I did see a 1" cutter.
