Busch Carbide Bone Taper (Cone) Pointed Cutter | Busch No. 162A 016 – HP | Pack of 2
Busch No. 162A 016 – HP is the straight-handpiece (HP) edition of the 162A A-Cut, low-vibration carbide bone cutter, supplied here as a pack of 2. Its taper (cone) pointed head measures 1.6 mm (ISO 016), and the HP shank fits straight surgical and laboratory handpieces rather than a contra-angle. Made in Germany by Busch & Co. GmbH.
Why choose the HP version
Straight handpieces are typically favoured for open surgical access — for example alveolar ridge work or bone reduction under direct vision — and for laboratory bench use, running at speeds up to roughly 40,000 rpm depending on the motor. Selecting the HP shank of the 162A gives you the same 1.6 mm A-Cut geometry as the RA, RA-L and FG variants but in the form your surgical straight handpiece accepts.
Also available: No. 162 016 – RA, No. 162A 016 – FG, No. 162A 016 – RA-L, No. 162A 016 – RA, No. 162 016 – RA-L.
