Spanish term or phrase: Herida profunda y tirante
Se deriva al hospital por herida en pierna profunda y tirante....

Referred to hospital due to a deep and (?) wound to the leg...

My guess is this refers to the skin surrounding the wound being tight...? But I'm not too sure. Any suggestions much appreciated!

agree  neilmac: Wouldn't the tightness usually appear after healing started? It did for me a couple of times...
