Marketing - Medical: Health Care | | French term or phrase: calage | | describes range of orthopedic-style pillows, supports, matresses, for the neck, legs, etc. generic term: "gamme calage"... what's the term in English?! i can't see teh wood for the trees... "orthopedic supports" is nowhere near as crisp as teh original "gamme calage"... |

It's frustrating but I can't see anything better than your own suggestion of orthopedic supports. It's like the French bobologie, hard to find a snappy equivalent. |
