The 9AC60 acorn‑style bur is a large‑bore, relatively bulky cutting tool in the Medtronic Legend system, made for more substantial bone removal or shaping in surgical fields where larger access and power are available. Its 6 mm diameter tip combined with fluted edges allows it to cut aggressively compared to smaller burs, removing bone material efficiently. The acorn shape gives a rounded, somewhat tapered cap‑like head which is helpful for entering cavities, shaping concave surfaces, or sculpting rounded recesses, while still providing a relatively broad contact surface to speed up bulk material removal.
At 9 cm of shaft length, this tool is intended for deeper reach into surgical anatomy — such as through large bore attachments, angled or variable Legend attachments, or when working through retractors or curved anatomical corridors. The longer shaft allows the surgeon to access places that are otherwise difficult to reach, while the large bore attachments help maintain stability and reduce vibration, since the shaft and attachments are designed to accommodate the diameter and forces involved. The head length (~7.7 mm) gives enough “bite” to get into the work without the head being so deep that visibility or control is compromised.
In practice, the 9AC60 finds use in surgeries where both cutting power and shape control are needed: for example large cranial work, skull base surgeries, orthopedic bone sculpting, remodeling of joint surfaces, or spinal work where a larger surface needs trimming. Because of its size, care must be taken to manage heat buildup (adequate cooling / irrigation), avoid excessive pressure, and ensure chip evacuation. Also, while it offers faster removal of bone, it's less suited where very fine finesse is needed (edges, near nerves, etc.), where smaller burs with finer tips might be preferred. Its single‑use sterile design helps in maintaining consistency of performance (sharpness, again less risk of tool wear) and in reducing infection control concerns.
