glass fragments

Shattered window pieces

Pieces of broken glass, typically sharp and irregular.

The term appears in contexts involving accidents, crime scenes, or cleanup: Glass fragments were embedded in the wound.

Unlike "broken glass," which emphasizes the state, "glass fragments" emphasizes the individual pieces as discrete objects—something to be collected, analyzed, or removed.
