The MicroAire ZB‑192 SST Bur, Shannon 44, 3 flutes, medium, 2.3 mm diameter is a bone‑cutting bur designed to offer a balance of precise cutting and durability. Its 2.3 mm diameter gives it moderate size—small enough for relatively fine work, yet large enough to remove material reasonably efficiently when needed. The “Shannon tip” configuration refers to a specific geometry of the cutting end that supports controlled entry into bone, often with less chance of skidding, which helps when initiating cuts or working near delicate structures.

With three medium‑sized flutes, the ZB‑192 is structured to provide moderate chip removal without overly aggressive gouging. More flutes can mean smoother finish but slower removal; fewer flutes more aggressive cut but rougher finish; three is a middle ground here. The flutes help carry the bone debris away from the cutting surface, reducing clogging, and the stainless steel construction provides resistance to wear and heat over usage. Though stainless steel is generally softer than carbide in maintaining sharpness over many uses, the medium flute depth and tip geometry make this bur serviceable for controlled use where carbide may be overkill or cost‑prohibitive.

In clinical or surgical practice, this bur would be useful in procedures requiring modest bone removal or shaping—such as trimming, smoothing, or modifying bony surfaces in confined spaces. Its moderate diameter allows reach into semi‑accessible areas without excessive invasiveness, and its balance of cutting aggression vs control makes it easier to avoid overcutting in sensitive zones. Because it's single‑use and sterile, it avoids concerns over sterilization wear, but one must keep in mind that the cutting performance may degrade after some usage—so replacing rather than reusing is standard. The Shannon tip, moderate flute design, and stainless steel build combine to make the ZB‑192 a reliable general‑purpose bone bur for precise surgical applications.
