Often contracted through contaminated wounds, burns, and bites, our tetanus testing kit represents the first line of defence in the event that you’ve broken the skin barrier. While suspected tetanus infections should be treated as a medical emergency, we’re here for the times when you’re looking for a renewed peace of mind.

Tetanus is a non-contagious, infective disease caused by the Clostridium tetani bacterium. This bacterium is often present as a spore in the soil and can penetrate into the human body via contaminated scratches and wounds. Once inside the body, the spore transforms into the vegetative form, which produces a very powerful neurotoxin. The toxin spreads around the body through the blood and the lymphatic system, causing spasms and widespread contractions. Without suitable treatment, the disease can be fatal in 30-50% of cases. Vaccination is the only way to prevent the disease. The administration of three doses of vaccine provides very high protection, with effectiveness above 95%. The duration of the protection is approximately 10 years and it is further guaranteed by periodical boosters. TETANUS TEST is a qualitative, immunological self-test to identify antibodies against che tetanus toxin in whole blood. It reveals if he user has antibody protection against infection.
