Medical - Medical: Instruments
French term or phrase: technique opératoire
Can this term be used to refer to some kind of operating manual?
It occurs several times in instructions for surgeons on how to use a medical device. I would have expected it to refer to the surgeon's operating technique but in some instances it seems to be another reference document:

Eg. "la méthode spécifiée dans la technique opératoire"

"d'après les recommandations de la technique opératoire"

Thanks for your input!

PS. Document is Belgian French.

operating technique/manual
Explanation:
I think you can translate it operating technique which can also be termed as an operating manual. This gives the details of how and when the operation has to be done, the procedures to be adopted, the care to be taken before, during and after the operation.

agree  philgoddard: Technique. We don't know that it's a manual - it might be one sheet of paper.

operative technique


Explanation:
TBH, I am not familiar with the use of this term in French. Yet, it sounds very much like a type of document I have repeatedly translated from English into German: an "Operative technique" provided by manufacturers of e.g. surgical instruments, which offers a detailed description of the steps and procedures required for a particular surgical operation (performed, of course, by use of this manufacturer's products, but not limited to the steps requiring the use of these products).

I now find that the type of document I was referring to can have different names: e.g., company Stryker uses "Operative Technique", company Zimmer uses "Surgical Technique".
