Cranial burs are small rotary shafts of steel or other hard metal with fluting or cutting planes of various shapes on one end that are inserted into an appropriate powered device to provide rotation for excavating soft or hard skull tissue. These devices are used to create holes in skull tissue to allow for the placement of screws and cranial plates.
