This is getting ridiculous - yet another term for which I can't find any reference at all, naglelaken. Orthopaedics, pelvic examination.
Phrase: 3 stenger for naglelaken oppheng, which is under the 'preoperative preparation' section.
Anyone relate to this term?

hook sheet
This is obviously some kind of 'sheet' - but that could mean anything.
Could it be a 'hook sheet' as here?
