Proper wound management is critical in preventing and controlling tetanus, as the bacterium Clostridium tetani enters the body through contaminated wounds. Thorough cleaning, debridement of necrotic tissue, and maintaining a sterile environment significantly reduce bacterial proliferation and toxin production. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be required to remove infected tissue and promote healing. Combined with timely vaccination and medical treatment, effective wound care is a cornerstone of tetanus prevention and helps minimize complications and mortality.
