A cranial bur is a surgical tool designed for precise tissue removal during cranial procedures, such as bone drilling or resection. Clinically, it is used to excavate soft or hard skull tissue with controlled precision, often in neurosurgery or trauma care, where access to the brain or skull base is required.
These devices are typically single-use, meaning they are intended for one surgical procedure only to ensure sterility and safety. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical risk and intended use, with compliance requirements often tied to manufacturing standards and surgical safety protocols.
