GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Einsatz
English translation:use

German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Instruments / Arthroskopie
German term or phrase: Einsatz
Sterile Arthroskopie-Elektrodeneinsatz zum Eimmalgebrauch


I found materials where Elektrodeneinsatz was translated as "electrode insert" - but if it's about an " insert" how do I translate Einsatz in the next line:

"Das Produkt ist für den Einsatz in der arthroskopischen Chirurgie vorgesehen"?

Thank you!

Notes to answerer
Asker: In the second sentence definitely, but considering that the material is about "Elektrodeneinsatz" and after seeing these translations (it's a pdf file) I am not sure how to translate it http://kategorizacia.mzsr.sk

Explanation:
Not my field of expertise but rendering "Elektrodeneinsatz" as "electrode insert" strikes me as odd. My solution will work if the communicative purpose is similar to the one below:

"Characteristics

Applications:
surgery, arthroscopic
Procedure:
ablation
Type:
needle"
