How would you say "supportive"...?

Question

Such as, "Position pillows for supportive elevation of leg", or ,"supportive devices for breathing"

Answer 1

I didn't see a single word synonymous with supportive, but a lot of phrases rendered as "supportive" (many with the use of the noun apoyo).

Check out the phrases and contexts on these two sites:

supportive

supportive also

Answer 2

Maybe supportive can be translated in different ways, for example:

Position pillows for supportive elevation of leg = coloque las almohadas para facilitar la elevación de la pierna

supportive devices for breathing = dispositivos de respiración asistida / dispositivos auxiliares para la respiración

good suggestions, I just wanted the actual adjective, but yes, i would normally change the part of speech to interpret this word - pilipina, Feb 2, 2010

If you are referring to supportive as moral support, such as a friend would be. The word you would then use would be....Apoyo.
