oval cotton ball
Explanation:
After navel intervention, you put a tiny cotton sponge into the navel in order to keep the shape of it. Then you cover the surgical site with a dressing.

I finally found this nice overview on all possible surgical sponges here:

http://www.carwild.net/specspng.htm

See the tiny oval sponges in the center of the image, alternatively the ones on the right side, bottom.

Even if I could not find the term Nabelbohne, I could only figured out by context and the surgical report provided that this tiny cotton ball must be meant here.

umbilical cord clip/clamp


Explanation:
Just a thought, could it be one of those clips for tying off the umbilical cord on newborns? Nabelbohne doesn't google so perhaps it could be a colloquial term for Nabelschnurklemme.
