The DePuy Synthes 03.000.071S egg‑shaped burr is a medium‑size, 4.0 mm diameter bone cutting tool with an 8.0 mm head length. The “egg” shape provides a convex, elongated cutting surface that blends well along curved anatomical surfaces, allowing surgeons to smooth transitions, sculpt convexities, or contour bone in places where a round burr might leave abrupt edges or require extra passes. The moderate size (4 mm) balances aggressive material removal with control, giving good access without being so large as to risk excessive resection or damage to adjacent structures.

Because it is single‑use and sterile, the burr ensures optimal cutting performance with minimal risk of contamination or performance degradation from repeated sterilization cycles. The working edges are designed to cut cleanly, so as to reduce chatter (vibration) and heat accumulation, which can be detrimental both to surrounding tissue and to the burr’s longevity. Surgeons will often choose this burr when they need more gradual shaping and when precision is paramount — for example, in neurosurgical bone work, cranial flap shaping, or orthopedic procedures involving complex surfaces.

Practically, this burr is useful in surgeries where bone surfaces are uneven or curved, and might need smoothing after resection, contouring for fit of implants, or refining edges to avoid prominence. Its egg‑shape allows blending of surfaces more efficiently and with fewer tool changes: its curvature permits contact at multiple angles as the burr is rotated or swept. As with all burrs, care must be taken with irrigation (cooling), visibility, and pressure application to avoid thermal damage or unwanted removal of bone. Users should match the burr size and shape to the anatomy, aiming for adequate removal while preserving structure and avoiding over‑reaming.
