Spheric burr 16.0mm

Clinical Application

This spherical burr is a rotary cutting instrument designed to remove and contour bone and calcified tissue. The 16.0 mm spherical head is sized for creating smooth concave or convex recesses, debulking osteophytes, shaping implant beds, and finishing margins in orthopedic, neurosurgical, ENT and maxillofacial procedures. Its geometry helps produce uniform contours and reduces the need for multiple passes when shaping larger surfaces or recesses.

Design & Configuration

The ball-shaped cutting profile provides continuous contact over curved surfaces, minimizing snagging and producing predictable stock removal across concave or convex anatomy. A single large-diameter sphere allows surgeons to establish broad, smooth contours more efficiently than smaller-diameter burrs, and is useful for expanding or smoothing cavities and recesses created during osteotomy or debridement. The straight shank configuration is intended for use with powered surgical handpieces, allowing controlled rotational speed and tactile feedback during bone work.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Rotary surgical burr
• Model: Spheric burr, 16.0 mm head diameter
• Head profile: Spherical (ball) cutting head for contouring and smoothing
• Intended use: Bone removal, contouring, osteotomy finishing, cavity preparation
• Reusable: Yes — designed for repeated use with appropriate reprocessing

Material & Construction

The cutting head is manufactured from tungsten carbide, providing durable, wear-resistant cutting performance for bone and hard tissue. The shank is constructed from surgical-grade metal designed to withstand the torque and speeds of powered handpieces. The burr is intended for reprocessing and reuse when cleaned and sterilized according to facility protocols.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
