Muriel Vasconcellos Jun 11, 2017:
@ Paul Thank you. That's very interesting. Surprising, in fact, as I would not have thought all that stuff came under the heading of "curación". This means that my answer was wrong and I apologize.
Paul Merriam Jun 11, 2017:
If you look at "material de curación" in any search engine, you'll find lots of people selling it. Example http://www.labequim.com.mx/html/MATERIAL DE CURACION.htm . You'll find tongue depressers, petri dishes, disposable mirrors for examining the vagina and various other things not used for dressing wounds.

I was about to suggest 'sterile dressings' but it might include sterile gloves, sterile gowns, sterile drapes and masks.
Silvia Hanine-Studnicki Jun 10, 2017:
Something like: material for aseptic healing of wound.

Selected

sterile treatment material

If you look at this catalog, the material de curación includes lots of materials like stethoscopes, catheters and medical waste bags. The "dressing" is too restrictive.
