English term (edited): sloughy wounds

E' la prima volta che mi imbatto nel termine, che suppongo UK, ma la foto 1 al primo link è esemplare (non piacevole da guardare, ma esemplare comunque). Media confidenza, ma io penso che tradurrei così.

It is common for these wounds to be necrotic (dead tissue) or yellow and sloughy (a mixture of rehydrated necrotic
tissue), dead bacteria, and dead leucocytes often with fibrous tissue. It is also common for slough to be inhabited by
bacteria of many types; all create malodour and, depending on the type of bacteria, will colour the wound exudate.

slough (slough) (sluf) 1. necrotic tissue in the process of separating from viable portions of the body. 2. to shed or cast off.

sloughing (slough·ing) (sluf´ing) the formation or separation of a slough.

io direi così, le altre definizioni sembrano coprire le altre terminologie.
