agree  Jeffrey Lewis: Drmanu, what is a "pansement américain"?
21 mins
  -> Sorry, Jeffrey, I just realized I answered too quickly. I thought you were speaking about "pliage" and not "pansement". Luckily Marilyn is more careful than I am!

neutral  Dr Sue Levy (X): I'm not convinced "surgical folding" means anything to an English speaker - no English medical supply sites using it. Careful with MSF transaltions - they are done by non-pro volunteers. I know from personal experience :-)
1 hr
  -> folding meant for surgery, such as the Telacomp gauze swab in 5-layer packaging

agree  chinesetrans: It makes sense in Chinese, called folding stitching.
