Busch Carbide Bone Taper (Cone) Pointed Cutter | Busch No. 162A 016 – FG | Pack of 2

The Busch No. 162A 016 – FG is the friction-grip variant of the 162A carbide bone cutter: an A-Cut, low-vibration taper (cone) pointed head of 1.6 mm (ISO 016) on a FG shank for high-speed turbine handpieces. Where the RA and HP versions run at low speed, this reference is intended for clinicians who prefer to perform bone reduction with a turbine. Pack of 2, made in Germany by Busch & Co. GmbH.

Why choose the FG version

A friction-grip shank is typically used in high-speed air turbines or electric high-speed handpieces, which some surgeons prefer for rapid, light-touch bone removal with copious irrigation — for instance during surgical extractions or crown-lengthening osteoplasty. If your workflow is built around a turbine rather than a latch contra-angle or straight surgical handpiece, this is the 1.6 mm A-Cut bone cutter to reach for.

Also available: No. 162A 016 – HP, No. 162 016 – RA, No. 162A 016 – RA-L, No. 162A 016 – RA, No. 162 016 – RA-L.
