Information on handling burrs
•
Synthes recommends using a new sterile burr for each
operation. This prevents health risks to the patient.
•
Used burrs present the following risks:
•
Necrosis due to excess heat
•
Longer cutting time due to reduced performance
of the burr
Precautions:
•
Burrs must be cooled with irrigation liquid to
prevent heat necrosis.
•
The size of the burr attachment must correspond
to the size of the burr (e.g. attachment size S with
burr size S) or one burr size bigger (e.g. attachment
size S with burr size M).
•
User and OR personal must wear safety goggles
when working with burrs.
•
When the Burr Attachments are not attached to
the handpiece during tool change, use the Hand-
hold (05.001.074) for easier change of burrs.
