Bur and diamond holders secure burs during procedures and organize them while in storage. Holders are round or rectangular, are available with or without rotating bases, and may have magnetic strips. Varying hole sizes accommodate different types of shanks and cutting heads. Bur holders are useful for quick access to a variety of burs during procedures. The ideal method of sterilizing a bur holder depends on the material composition of the bur holder, as materials that are not heat resistant will melt in autoclaves and cold sterilization solution may discolor metals such as aluminum.
