Subject: Knife used for debridement 
  After general anesthesia, the leg was elevated and then using dermatome and _____ knife a debridement was done.   
OPERATIVE PROCEDURE:   Extensive debridement of left lower leg, fairly large area 20 cm x 16 cm and 10 cm x 15 cm.    
   
It sounds like bouillon and I know that is not correct...any help would be appreciated.

 I cannot figure out what this doctor is saying, it starts under "operative technique"  
Patient was "????" prepped and draped in the usual fashion in a supine position. The tourniquet was placed in the right upper arm.  
It sounds like he is saying "freight wrapped" or maybe "tight wrapped"???? I could not find any reference to either of those terms.  Can anyone help?!?  
Thanks!

Sinus surgery (septoplasty, inferior turbinate reduction), routine stuff. Sounds like "Bolinger frittle knife" - I swear. Going a mile a minute, even at the slowest speed.   
"The inferior aspect of the mucosa was then lifted off a septal spur on the right side. The ...... was then used to excise a piece of cartilage"....
