umbilical(s)

Danish translation: navlestreng

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:umbilical
Danish translation:navlestreng

Medical
English term or phrase: umbilical(s)
This is not umbilical as in "navle", but the term is used to describe a connection to a console in a hospital, e.g.: .....remove catheter and disconnect umbilicals from catheter...

Is there a Danish translation for "umbilical" or can I use the English term? And if I use the English term, what would umbilical be in plural? Umbilicals or umbilicaller?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

navlestreng
Explanation:
The Gyldendals ordbogs translation of umbilical is navlestreng. Thist is a Latin word, so you always can use that. In the book Anatomi og fysiologi, laerebog for sygeplejestuderende bruger de both the Latin word and the Danish word.

I hope this will help.
