Laser Use in Dentistry
"Beim chirurgischen Schnitt (Abb. 1) ist ein schmaler Schnitt mit carbonfreien ***Wundlefzen*** zu erkennen, dies – bis auf einen geringfügig breiteren Schnitt – ist beim Diodenlaser (Abb. 2) ebenfalls zutreffend."
From a text about the use of lasers in dentistry. I don't quite know what to make of "Wundlefzen" - I suppose it's something like "chaps", as in splitting, but "wound chaps" gets hardly any Google hits, and I'm stumped for any other ideas. TIA for your help.

Comment: "I'd better let you have this one, Johanna (deservedly so I hasten to add), but thanks to MMUlr for a useful answer also, and of course thanks to the peer graders for their valuable input. I think I might use "edges" here (which between MMUlr and Fantutti, seems to have the most support), but lips and margins both sound pretty good as well. Thanks very much once again - I hugely appreciate everyone's assistance."

See below, idea of Fantutti:
To me, "carbonfreie Wundlefzen" is a very strange in German medical language - Wundrand is appropriate for humans. I have found Wundlefze in http://www.w-weitensfelder-chirurg.at/Studenten/VL funktAnat... - an Austrian (!) website.
