exsanguinates
Bleeds something dry
Exsanguinates means drains of blood.
The term appears most often in medical, forensic, or horror contexts: The victim exsanguinated from a severed artery.
In surgery, to exsanguinate a limb is to force blood out before applying a tourniquet.
The word carries clinical detachment even when describing violent death.
