English term

large snap

English to Italian Medical Medical: Health Care
I'm at a loss... the sample comes from a text about simulation in obstetrics:
"Specialty-specific clinical issues were embedded in the scenarios to foster engagement by all members of the team. A reusable gravid uterus made of durable red canvas was fashioned to accommodate a mannequin baby and was stabilized in the birthing pelvis with large snaps. In this way an obstetrical provider could simulate incision of the skin and uterus, deliver the baby and then close the tissue layers, activities typically performed during a real cesarean delivery."
Proposed translations (Italian)

errata corrige padroneggiare
Rossinka Sep 9, 2010:
Italiano! Mi dispiace che tu la pensi così drasticamente. Un errore non significa nulla. Puoi andare e vedere le mie risposte in italiano accettate.
Cmq, ti auguro di padroneggiare l'inglese meglio di quanto io paddroneggi l'italiano.
Claudia Cherici Sep 9, 2010:
italiano? Scusa, Rossinka, ma dalla tua spiegazione dopo il mio disagree si evince che non padroneggi perfettamente l'italiano quindi forse non dovresti suggerire risposte verso IT...

disagree Claudia Cherici : e che cosa vorrebbe dire in italiano??

suppongo, "il bambolotto" viene fatto di modo per metterlo dentro e bloccare (stabilizzare), cioè, farlo entrare, con il clic, forse, uando bottoni automatici, visto che è riutilizzabile.

"snaps" look like press-studs to me.
