health and safety regulations
toallas de un solo uso, protector de un solo uso, cuchillas y material de rasurado de un solo uso, agujas...y útiles...de un solo uso,recipientes de un solo uso...etc etc
I'm not sure whether to use 'disposable' or 'single use'. The first sounds better to me but in internet there are lots of references with 'single use'. The text is about health and safety regulations for establishments that carry out tattooing and piercing.
