penetrating trauma definition

Hi all

We're compiling a regional trauma data dictionary, and have conflicting
views on the definition of penetrating trauma.  Obviously a gsw or stabbing
is likely to be penetrating, what about falling through a glass window and
getting a laceration?  What about a chainsaw injury?  

Can anyone provide their concise definition from their data dicitonary?

Many thanks

Kate
