Ceramic Podiatry burs are composed of a ceramic head, generally with stainless steel shaft. This creates a bur which has many favourable properties when compared to other Podiatry burs.
The type of ceramic used to form the head of the bur, Zirconia, is an excellent material to make a bur with due to its very high resistance to crack propagation.
This means that the cutting surface of the bur maintains its edge, even after repeated use. Podiatry clinics depend on their bur’s strength and resilience to be able to withstand daily utilisation in the Podiatry clinic.
