    HI Ruth,
    This has been A very contentious issue with me for a few years now. We use a mix of sterile single use and reprocess able. I would like to move to all presterile single use, but cost is always raised.

    Good luck
    Kind regards

I am interested to know if most dental surgeries now use single-use burrs or if some areas still reprocess them until their dental surgeons suggest they are too blunt?
