degloved
Flesh forcibly exposed
Degloved describes an injury where skin and tissue have been torn away from underlying muscle or bone, as if removing a glove.
The term appears in medical contexts for severe trauma, typically to hands or fingers but applicable to any body part: The machinery accident left his hand completely degloved.
Degloving injuries often result from industrial accidents, motor vehicle crashes, or ring avulsion.
