Scissor cuts depend on the condition of the wound. If the wound is narrow and deep, a tetanus shot is needed; if the wound is small and superficial, a tetanus shot is not necessarily needed.
1. Narrow and deep wounds: scissors are easy to attach dust, rust and other substances, if the wound is narrow and deep, it is easy to form an oxygen-deficient environment, which is conducive to the reproduction of tetanus bacillus, so tetanus shots are needed.
3. Small and superficial wounds: For small and superficial wounds, 3% hydrogen peroxide can be used to clean the wound or disinfect it with iodophor, tetanus shots are not necessary, and the wound does not necessarily need to be bandaged, as open wounds can form an aerobic environment, which can eliminate the invasion and reproduction of tetanus.
If you are cut by scissors, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in a timely manner, and let the doctor decide whether you need to take a tetanus shot, so as not to delay your condition.
