Proper maintenance and sterilization of surgical burs are crucial for patient safety and instrument longevity. Follow these steps to ensure the best performance and hygiene:

1. Immediately Rinse After Use
• Use warm water to remove debris and biological matter.
• Avoid letting burs sit in contaminated conditions, as this can lead to corrosion.
2. Ultrasonic Cleaning
• Place burs in an ultrasonic cleaner with enzymatic solution.
• Let them soak for at least 5-10 minutes to ensure complete removal of debris.
3. Autoclave Sterilization
• Dry the burs completely before placing them in an autoclave.
• Use standard high-temperature sterilization protocols (typically 134°C / 273°F for 15 minutes).
4. Storage & Handling
• Keep sterilized burs in a dry, contamination-free container.
• Always inspect burs before use to ensure they are not worn or damaged.

WholeDent provides a wide range of high-quality surgical burs that are built to withstand multiple sterilization cycles without losing their sharpness.
