STERI-SAFE Dental Bur Block Collection

Which STERI-SAFE Bur Block Do You Need?

The Wave silicone blocks differ only in color, so pick one color per operatory or treatment stage; every block in the collection is linked once below by its Busch number.

Innovative Wave Design

The distinctive wave design of the STERI-SAFE dental bur block keeps all instruments clearly arranged and instantly accessible throughout the patient treatment workflow. RA and FG shank instruments are organized together in a single block, eliminating the need to switch between separate holders at any stage of treatment.

Secure Safety Bracket

A lockable safety bracket holds firmly in the closed position, preventing instruments from falling out — including during the full reprocessing and sterilization cycle. During ultrasonic cleaning, the working parts of instruments do not come into contact with each other, offering reliable protection against damage and cross-contamination. To access instruments, simply swing the safety bracket backwards.

Color Coding and Anti-Slip System

Each dental bur block accommodates both FG and RA shank instruments and features an anti-slip color coding system for easy and safe transportation. Blocks are available in a variety of colors and can be further differentiated using specially designed silicone strips — ideal for organizing instruments across multiple operatories or treatment stages.

Custom Sets Available

On request, individual sets can be created with your desired organization and print. Please note: individualized dental bur block orders must be placed by phone.

Clinical Use

STERI-SAFE bur blocks hold FG and RA shank burs, diamonds and polishers in standard lengths together in one block, so the instruments for a procedure stay arranged chairside and stay in the block, under the locked safety bracket, through ultrasonic cleaning and sterilization. Different block colors help separate instrument sets by operatory or treatment stage.

Care and Reconditioning

Load the burs, close and lock the safety bracket, and reprocess the block with the instruments in place: clean, disinfect and sterilize following the manufacturer’s instructions and the symbols on the packaging. Our Dental Bur Reprocessing & Sterilization Guide walks through the workflow for the burs themselves.
