If the skin is broken at the site of the injury and the wound is a superficial abrasion, tetanus is not required, while if the wound is deeper, tetanus is required.
Tetanus is caused by Clostridium tetani infection. Clostridium tetani needs to be in an anaerobic environment in order to reproduce in large quantities and jeopardize the human body.
When the patient’s injury site is shallow, the surface broken skin abrasion, the wound and air contact, Clostridium tetani can not reproduce a large number of, at this time do not need to play tetanus. If the wound is deeper, the wound deep air occlusion, suitable for Clostridium tetani mass reproduction, this time need to play tetanus in time.
If there is a traumatic skin breakage, you should seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition and causing more serious consequences.
