Description
A bur block is a compact organizer and sterilization holder for dental burs. This model is made from anodized aluminum with a protective hinged cover. The precision drilled holes keep burs upright, visible, and easy to count before and after a procedure. The vented design supports cleaning, drainage, and drying during the sterilization cycle. It is lightweight and durable for daily clinical use.

Perforated body promotes effective washing and steam penetration for reliable sterilization.
-
Clearly separated holes reduce mix ups and help teams set up procedure specific kits.
