Colas

Medical - Medical: Dentistry / List of topics from a Dentist school
Spanish term or phrase: Colas
Hi all,

I hope you can help me. I am translating some subjects from a dentist school. Is just a list of different topics, so there is no context. The phrase comes as follows:

Aplicación odontológica de la hemostasia por colágeno, colas biológicas y colas no absorbibles.

I was going to go with the obvious and leave it as "tails" but just want to make sure is right.

Many thanks for your help.
