The start hole size is the initial opening in the barrier, which can be enlarged to fit the stoma. Choosing a barrier with the correct start hole size makes trimming easier and ensures a more secure fit, especially if the stoma is close to the standard size. A smaller start hole allows for greater customization. The Nu-Hope 8664 offers a 1/2" start hole, which is ideal for users with smaller stomas or those who prefer to trim for a more personalized fit. Different start hole sizes are available across products in this category, so users can choose according to their needs.
