Spanish term or phrase: coste de fungibles
Hi everyone,

The above phrase appears in a market research question being answered by doctors/plastic surgeons/ etc. who deal with comsetic treatments (botox, liposuction,etc.) The question asks 'what are the key factors in setting a price for a treatment?'
to which the answer is : 'coste de fungibles'

The next question asks 'why?' to which the answer given is :'porque el material como gasas, desinfectantes, etc. Tambien son gastos'

Does anybody have any ideas about what 'coste de fungibles' would be in English when used in this context?

Many thanks in advance
