Clinical Use
Busch's cut guide: very coarse double cut for strong removal of thickened nails, coarse double cut for coarse modeling, medium for treating and finishing fungal nails, and fine for delicate treatment of the nail surface before polishing. The safety cuts (GQSR, MQS) also grind hyperkeratosis and orthotic silicone.
Care and Reprocessing
Clean, disinfect and sterilize Busch podiatry burs after every patient following Busch's reprocessing instructions and the symbols on each pack; use a bur stand so cutting edges never touch. Never exceed the maximum speed printed on the pack, and run larger heads slower than small ones, especially when working dry. Our Bur Reprocessing & Sterilization Guide and Bur Speed Chart cover the workflow.
