Product description

A snug fit around your stoma is essential, in order to protect your skin from the harmful effects of output from the stoma.

For an optimum fit around your stoma

Ostomy scissors are designed to facilitate easy cutting of an ostomy adhesive to the exact size required:

Curved scissor blades - to facilitate circular cuts
The upper blade has small ‘teeth’ - ensuring that the adhesive does not slip while being cut, while keeping the scissors in place. The adhesive is much easier to control, ensuring a smoothly cut line.
The lower blade has a rounded end - guiding the circular cutting and to avoid damaging the pouch of a one-piece appliance.

Coloplast® ostomy scissors are specialized medical-grade stainless steel tools engineered explicitly to facilitate smooth, precise circular cuts on ostomy baseplates for an optimum stoma fit

Product Features & Design

Why are the blades curved?
The intentional curvature of the blades allows you to smoothly follow circular cutting lines without creating the jagged edges typical of straight household scissors.[1, 2]
What is the purpose of the small teeth on the upper blade?
The serrated upper blade firmly grips the adhesive skin barrier. This layout ensures the baseplate does not slip during cutting, providing optimal control.[1, 2, 3]
Why does the lower blade have a rounded, blunt tip?
The rounded tip safely guides your circular cutting motion. It is purposefully designed to prevent puncturing or damaging the pouch on one-piece ostomy systems

Yes. They are fully compatible with both one-piece and two-piece cut-to-fit ostomy systems

First, measure your stoma and trace the exact shape onto the backing paper. Insert the blunt lower blade into the starter hole. Steadily turn the baseplate while cutting to ensure a clean, smooth edge

Medical professionals discourage household scissors. They lack the necessary curved blades, stabilizing serrations, and protective blunt tips, significantly increasing your risk of jagged edges and ruined pouches
