English term or phrase: polyurethane
This document- polyurethane- comes from a Wound Dressing Instructions document. The document has to be translated from US to UK English.

The term comes from the description of the wound dressing.

I would be interested to know if there is any variation between US or UK English spelling for this term?


Many thanks.
