Behind the scenes
The Lock Joint syringe references tetanus, also known as lockjaw and lock joint - aside from the name, the materials required to craft this item are a nod to the common association of rusty metal to the infection. Rust itself doesn't cause tetanus, but does provide an ideal environment for the bacterium Clostridium tetani to develop.
