W25.XXXD

W25.XXXD — Contact with sharp glass, subsequent encounter

D: subsequent encounter
S: sequela

fall on same level due to slipping, tripping and stumbling with subsequent striking against sharp glass (W01.110-)
striking against sharp glass with subsequent fall (W18.02-)

injury due to flying glass from explosion or firearm discharge (W32-W40)
