What does the word "durex" means?
This evening I met this word in my lesson (My student book is "Novo Avenida Brasil 1"), and I don't understand what does it mean.
I guess it somhow connected with office staff as other words are "computador, calculadora, caderno, tesoura, boisa, lapis, etc)
Poderia me ajudar por favor?

It's a brand name. In a few countries, such as Australia, there used to be a make of sticky tape (Scotch tape) with this name, which might explain why it's in a list with stationery items.
In many other countries, such as Britain, it's a condom.
I don't know what staff in offices get up to in Brazil, but I somehow doubt that the nation's corporate stationery cupboards are stocked with rubberware of an intimate nature.
