  -> Acho que "bolsa coletora utilizada para colostomias" é o contexto. O que Alcione quer, penso eu, é a tradução de "colostomia". Mas posso estar enganado.
agree  Katarina Peters: Colostomy. Airmail esta enganado.

  -> Muito obrigado !
disagree  Katarina Peters: Sorry, desertfox, that was not the question. Colostomy bag is the translation of bolsa coletora.
1 hr
agree  María Diehn: The word "colostomy" within the context of the question refers to a colostomy bag. Alcione will have to double check the accuracy of the question.
