Greek term or phrase: τμηματοποιημένος σωλήνας
Examples:

Επανέλεγχος: Πρέπει να επιβεβαιώνεται η ομάδα ABO και RHESUS με δείγμα αίματος από τον τημηματοποιημένο σωλήνα των ασκών όλων των μονάδων αίματος πριν από τη δοκιμασία συμβατότητας.

Για τις εργαστηριακές δοκιμασίες πρέπει να πληρούται ο ενσωματωμένος στον ασκό σωλήνας με αίμα του ασκού και να τμηματοποιείται έτσι ώστε η αποκοπή τμήματος να είναι εύκολη και να διασφαλίζεται η στειρότητα του ασκού ...

Ι can't work out whether this corresponds to 'break-away tube' (I've seen a few examples of this term in English), i.e. (as I understand it) a tube which is divided into sections which are easy to break apart.

Thank you. In the end I settled for 'divided into sections' (at one point in the text). Ideally I would have liked more info to link the Greek term to an English term in this very specific context - but perhaps the Greek isn't really a standard term.
