Italian term or phrase: pacchetto di medicazione
Il contesto è ridotto all'osso: in un testo sulle procedure e dotazioni di sicurezza si parla di "Cassette di emergenza e pacchetti di medicazione". Le cassette di emergenza sono quelle di pronto soccorso (la precisione terminologica è un'opinione, d'altronde questa è gente in grado di sbagliare i propri acronimi 4 volte in 3 modi diversi in un testo di 5 cartelle) ma i pacchetti di medicazione?
Mi viene da pensare che siano questi: http://www.seton.it/pacchetti-medicazione-reintegro-cassette... (l'azienda non ha nulla a che vedere con il mio testo).
Volendo con una perifrasi ci arrivo, ma mi chiedevo se tali scorte non avessero un nome ben preciso...

neutral  casper: If so, how would you translate cassette pronto soccorso in Pacchetti di medicazione per reintegro cassette pronto soccorso (it's there in the link posted by the asker) ?
22 hrs
disagree  sognatrice: You can't. Because the cassetta pronto soccorso IS the first-aid kit. Therefore you can't say "First aid kits and firt aid kit."
