Final narrative
An employee was cleaning the guard of a press machine with a rag when the rollers of the machine caught the corner of the rag and dragged the employee's right middle finger, resulting in a degloving injury from the distal interphalangeal joint to the tip of the finger. The employee's fingertip had to be surgically amputated.
