This is in a list of supplies used in an angioplasty procedure:
"Categoria: Cateteri dilatatori a palloncino bis" ... followed by a description: "C. Dil. PTA Mustang 4x80x130" (just for context .. I understand this part)
What does "bis" mean here? I don't find any online examples of "palloncino/palloncini bis" and I don't find anything for "bis balloons" in English.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Joe, 'bis' in legal and technical terminology signifies 'a second time', 'twice', or a 'supplement'. There is no standard medical term for 'bis' as it is a standard term in Italian. Also said to actors or musicians in the place of 'encore' in English and French. Here they say 'bis' for 'one more time' or 'again'. This is how I would translate it.
