Heat resistance is another property which makes the ceramic bur ideal for use in the Podiatry arena. This allows the Podiatrist to use the bur for an extended period of time before the bur accumulates significant heat. This results in your clients having a more enjoyable treatment in your clinic.
There are potentially harmful nail dusts generated by Podiatry burs when they’re used in the confines of a Podiatry clinic. Many drills have vacuum systems or water spray capabilities intended to reduce the aerosol type particles produced when burring.
The type of debris created by Ceramic burs is larges in nature, meaning they don’t remain suspended in the air as long as other type of bur debris. This minimizes the chance that the debris created throughout the burring process is less likely to end up in a Podiatrist’s lungs. You should always use control measures and personal protection when burring in your clinic.
