ABSTRACT:
A method of visualizing fragments of glass fragments at a trauma site is provided, for use in a case associated with traumatic injury due to fragmentation of a glass object and implantation at the trauma site. The glass is of a type which under darkfield ultraviolet excitation has the property of emitting visualizable fluorescence and is thus adapted for surgical intervention for purposes including assessment of the extent of implantation, control of infection, and removal of fragments from the site of trauma.
