Explanation

"Gently coagulated" is a term used in medicine to describe a process where a liquid, often blood, slowly and carefully turns into a semi-solid or solid state. This is similar to how liquid milk turns into a semi-solid form when you make cheese. The term "gently" is used to indicate that this process is controlled and done carefully to prevent damage to surrounding tissues. This is often done during certain medical procedures to stop bleeding or to remove or seal off certain tissues.
