Arabic term

المصانع

Arabic to English Medical Medical: Instruments Egyptian Ministry of Health
نموذج الطلب الخاص بالافراج عن المستلزمات والأجهزة الطبية والمصانع والأسنان

Application form for release of medical and dental devices and equipment and factories???
Or release of medical, manufacturing, and dental devices and equipment?
Or release of manufacturers' medical and dental devices and equipment?

It doesn't make sense to use المصانع as an adjective here, however, it also doesn't fit as a noun.

factory

I think the confusion occurs in the translation of the word مستلزمات which, I believe, should be 'requirements'. Once it is translated as such the sentence makes sense.
"Order form for the release of medical, dental and factory requirements and devices."
In this case factory is a mass noun in English, as to pluralise it would make for poor English expression.

Or:
"Order form for the release of medical, dental and factory devices and requirements"
This flows even better.
