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

With a 1.6 mm (ISO 016) taper (cone) pointed head and the A-Cut, low-vibration blade design, Busch No. 162A 016 – RA is the latch-type contra-angle version of the 162A bone cutter. It ships as a pack of 2 and, like every 162A variant, is made in Germany by Busch & Co. GmbH; the RA shank distinguishes it from the HP, FG and long-shank RA-L siblings.

Why choose the RA version

For most intraoral bone shaping performed in a slow-speed latch contra-angle — smoothing sharp edges after an extraction, refining an osteotomy, or trimming a bony ledge — the standard RA shank offers a compact head-to-tip distance and good control. It is typically the default choice when access is straightforward; step up to the RA-L only when you need additional reach.

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