Work Related Question

Does anyone know the past tense of debris?
As in:
I was able to clean the left ear under the microscope and ________ the right ear canal.

Is there even such a word?
This is my first time transcribing for a ears, nose and throat doctor, so I am shamefully unaware of the vocabulary needed for such a specialized medical field.

debris is not a verb, it is a noun. you could use 'removed debris'. you can check it out here.

débrided is the medical term.
The doctor used it on another patient evaluation.

Thanks anyway.

ah two totally different words that sound the same. makes much more sense now. debride is a verb, meaning to clean.

the root is pretty interesting:

French débridement, from débrider, to unbridle, debride (from the likening of constricting bands of tissue to bridles), from Old French desbrider : des-, de- + bride, bridle (probably from Middle High German brīdel, rein).]

I had no idea. It's hard to figure stuff out like that when all I'm doing is typing what I hear.
