GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English translation:(surgical) truss

Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Insurance / Medical
Dutch term or phrase: Breukbanden
Part of a cost clause in a health insurance policy:
'de kleine hulpmiddelen, voorgeschreven door een geneesheer, zoals breukbanden van een gewoon model'

The only translation I have found is 'truss' for an external hernia, but it sounds too much like a construction term...

(surgical) trusses
Explanation:
I think it should be obvious from the context that we're not talking about roof trusses, but you could always say surgical trusses if you wanted to be clear about it.
