W25: Contact with sharp glass

Contact with sharp glass refers to a group of injuries that occur when an individual's body comes into physical contact with glass that has sharp edges. These injuries often occur due to accidents involving broken glassware, windows or mirrors, and can vary in severity from minor cuts to deep lacerations. Symptoms are usually easily identifiable and include visible cuts or wounds on the skin, often accompanied by bleeding. Pain and discomfort are also typically present at the site of the injury. In some severe cases, underlying muscles, tendons or nerves may also be damaged. It's also important to note that such injuries carry a risk of infection if the penetrated skin comes into contact with bacteria or other harmful microorganisms. These conditions affect the integumentary system (skin and related structures) predominantly but can also involve underlying systems depending on injury severity.
