disagree  Kim Metzger: Not restricted to gangrene. The technical term is "wound exudate".
1 hr
disagree  Cetacea: "Brandwasser" has nothing to do with "Wundbrand"./True, but "Brandwasser" is still not derived from "Wundbrand", but rather "Brandwunde". However, the term is now commonly used for fluid exudating from any kind of wound.
1 hr
  -> but according to the asker , we are not confronted with a burn wound; Gangrene, however, corresponds to the German term and the fluid has to be drained.

In view of what the asker pointed out above in the "Discussion" it would be more appropriate to drop the word "burn" altogether and simply say wound exudate or exudate.

Pus is a whitish-yellow, yellow or yellow-brown exudate produced during inflammatory pyogenic bacterial infections.[1] An accumulation of pus in an enclosed tissue space is known as an abscess. A visible collection of pus within or beneath the epidermis, on the other hand, is known as a pustule or pimple.

Wound exudate

The composition and amount of wound exudate1 varies depending on the stage of the healing process. In the inflammatory phase of wound healing, exudate levels are usually high, which may be a sign of wound infection.

Unlike acute wound exudate, chronic wound exudate contains enzymes (proteases) that break down proteins and newly formed cells. To break the vicious cycle in a non-healing wound, the exudate must be led away from the wound with an absorbent dressing.

Controlling wound exudate
Control of exudate, removal of unhealthy tissue by debridement and management of bacterial load are all part of good wound bed preparation. A good wound dressing keeps the wound moist and absorbs exudate, locking it inside the dressing to prevent maceration.

The wrap acts much like a diaper in that the wound exudate is lifted and absorbed into the thick middle cotton layer.
