gewebehärtende Mittel

English translation: tissue firming medium/agent

Medical - Medical (general) / Chirotherapie
German term or phrase: gewebehärtende Mittel
In an invoice for chirotherapy, one item is listed as:

Infiltration gewebehärtender. Mittel

I´m not sure what type of material this is, and cannot find it in dictionaries or online. It appears to be a "tissue-hardening" material, but I´ve never heard of that. And, a "penetrating" tissue-hardening material sounds a bit extreme. Does anyone have more experience with chirotherapy? Any ideas are helpful!

This one appears to be the most generic, and since it is only a invoice with no additional information of why or what was infiltrated, I will use this one.

neutral  Nicholas Krivenko: Yes, loads of those, but "lotions" are usually not being infiltrated which means "injected".
