OBS

D'après les explications de la cliente qui nous a soumis ce terme au SVP, il s'agit, dans un hôpital, d'un sac utilisé pour transporter le linge contaminé vers les machines à laver. Ce sac évite aux employés le contact direct avec le linge contaminé et il est fait d'une matière qui a la propriété de se dissoudre dans l'eau. Après lavage, il n'y a plus qu'à ramasser le linge.

OBS

"hydrosoluble" : soluble dans l'eau.
