Spanish term or phrase: a pie de cama
One final query from a text on surgical debridement. I´m not sure if the author is referring to preparation of the wound bed here. TIA, Jason.

Cortante. Sólo cuando hay tejido necrótico y posible infección o sepsis; es rápido, selectivo, y debe ser realizado por un experto; puede ser doloroso y nunca deben estirarse o arrancarse los tejidos necróticos y se realiza a lo llamado **“a pie de cama”**. A este tipo de desbridamiento se le denomina quirúrgico el realizado por el cirujano en quirófano con una amplia escisión de tejido no viable y parte de tejido sano e incluso hueso.
