Burrs

Burrs are rotary instruments that are used in podiatry, for various purposes, as we will see now. They are also widely used in the dental and prosthetics fields.

The principal difference between these sectors and instruments is that burrs are special and longer instruments for handpiece in the podiatry and prosthetics fields. In contrast, dental burrs are smaller and are designed for turbines.

Podiatry burrs are classified and divided according to the purpose for which we want to use them. And the materials of which they are made are also conditioned by this purpose.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BURRS

LATERAL NAIL FOLD

These burrs are used for lateral nail folds. They are usually very thin, fine and sharp-pointed. Normally they are diamonds, although there are also other materials, such as Tungsten Carbide.

ONYCHOGRYPHOSIS

They are burrs very used in podiatry, since it is common to have to treat and trim thickened and hard nails.

Tungsten Carbide is the material of choice for its durability and quality. They are also available with this Titanium coated material for longer life and less heating.

There are different shapes and diameters and, above all, different types of cut: crossed and to one side only. And thicker cuts (special to start trimming the nail) and thinner cuts (to finish the job).

CERAMIC

Nowadays, ceramic burrs are at the top of selling. This material has the advantage that it is very hard and cuts enough. And above all, they refrigerate very well.

The main disadvantage is that this type of burr is very fragile in falls or blows.

HELOMAS AND CORNS

There are different types, materials and shapes. Moreover, we can find ball shapes.

HEELS AND HARD SKIN

The burrs most used for these cases are with some power of abrasion. They can be made of Tungsten Carbide, diamonds or other materials.

ABRASIVES AND POLISHERS

They are also used to reduce dry and/or thickened skin on the heels or soles of the foot, and sometimes, on nails.

The most commonly used are the classic abrasive caps.

We have the widest range in Laboratorios Herbitas, including the classic brown and the news considered as a product for medical use.

DIABETICS

We have burrs designed for diabetic use in Laboratorios Herbitas. The edges are beveled in such a way that they do not offer a cutting surface.

LEFT-HANDED

In Laboratorios Herbitas we have also burrs for left-handed persons with inverted cutting direction.

SURGERY

These burrs are manufactured in Stainless Steel, and are designed by leading foot surgeons in the U.S.A.
