Colorado Serum Company Tetanus Antitoxin, Liquid, 5 mL Sealed Vial

Tetanus antitoxin is prepared from the blood of healthy horses that have been specifically hyperimmunized. It is recommended for use as an aid in the prevention and treatment of tetanus in animals. Tetanus is caused by a neurotoxin (poison) produced by growth of Clostridium tetani, an anaerobic microorganism, in necrotic tissue. Tetanus Antitoxin is recommended for use when a non-immunized animal suffers a deep wound that may have been contaminated with soil, following castration or docking and other situations where tetanus infection has been a problem.
