Restoratives

Microcopy features new carbide bur

Microcopy is featuring its new NeoBurr 3302 carbide bur in Chicago.

The NeoBurr 3302 has the same features as the company's NeoBurr 330 but with a blended neck for increased durability. This means that the section of the bur between the cutting head and the shank is blended, with no reduction in neck width.

The new design also removes the weld joint, which increases its strength of the bur and removes any weak points in the neck that might cause breakage, according to Microcopy.

See the bur at booth No. 4207.
