About bur blocks
A bur block is a holder with a hole for each bur, so the heads do not touch each other or a hand. Published guidance says instruments to be stored should be wrapped or placed in containers such as cassettes or organizing trays designed to maintain sterility during storage. For an unwrapped load, the same guidance says an internal chemical indicator should be placed in the tray or cassette with the items to be sterilized.
Holds and carries the burs; it does not clean them.
