Spanish term or phrase: punta desflorecida
Agradecería mucho me explicaran cómo se puede decir en inglés cuando la punta de una aguja hipodérmica está "desflorecida" o sea que tiene restos de diminutas partes en su borde que no la hacen completamente afilada. El término "desflorecer" lo utilizan para demostrar bien este problema.
