German term

Folie

German to English Tech/Engineering Medical: Instruments
Die nahezu erhärtete Plastik wird dann herausgenommen, an den Rändern korrigiert und mit Perforationen versehen, durch die epidurale Flüssigkeit abfließen und später Bindegewebe einsprießen kann. Nach Entfernung von Watte bzw. Zellstoff und Folie wird die Plastik durch nichtresorbierbares Nahtmaterial an drei bis vier Stellen fixiert.

How can " Folie " be listed with Watte and Zellstoff ?
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 film

Since I don't understand/know the context I can only guess: the foil might be the cover/packaging for something (the "Platik" mentioned in the text?).
