What do "red eddies" mean?

In one of Blake Crouch’s most renowned novels, “Pines”, he writes: “More red eddies trickled out of an incision site on the back of his leg.”

After a considerable amount of time searching for the definition of "red eddies", I could not find a proper definition that fits the context of the sentence above.

An eddy (itself) is a circular current of water. My guess, from the sentence, would be that a "red eddy" is when a part of the body has been opened so much that it’s spewing large amounts of blood. However, I am greatly unsure.

Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you.
