Blood Transport Equipment System: From Blood Bank to Point of Care

The Blood Transport Equipment System is designed to ensure safe and reliable transport and storage of whole blood products in conflict, crisis, and disaster environments.

It supports the entire blood logistics chain, from a blood bank or walking blood bank to transport platforms and all the way to the point of injury, enabling true Blood Far Forward capability. 

By maintaining strict temperature control and product integrity throughout, the system helps ensure that whole blood is available where it is needed most, even in austere and high-risk operational settings.

Blood Collection and Pre-Transport

Blood must be safely collected, screened, and stored at an approved location such as a Blood Bank or Walking Blood Bank before transport. All blood must be checked for compatibility, sterility, and proper storage conditions. 

Strict temperature control is essential from the moment of collection: below 1 °C red blood cells can rupture, while above 6 °C the risk of bacterial growth increases. 

To prevent this, collected blood is placed immediately in validated, temperature-stable storage units before transport.

See our solutions below.

Soldier-Carried Transport

This covers blood transport systems carried by medical personnel near the point of injury. These solutions support forward medical operations where rapid access to blood is vital and evacuation may be delayed.

 The equipment must be lightweight, compact, and durable enough to be carried alongside other medical gear without reducing mobility. This category mainly includes passive transport systems designed for harsh and dynamic environments, where temperature stability, durability, and ease of handling are essential to keep blood within the required temperature range during movement and treatment. 

We offer passive blood coolers in sizes ranging from 0.5 to 2 litres, as well as active battery-powered blood coolers in 2-7-litre capacities, all housed in robust Peli cases.

Platform-Based Transport & Storage

Covers blood transport and storage systems integrated into vehicles, containers, or other operational platforms near medical facilities or forward operating areas. These solutions support sustained medical operations by keeping whole blood properly conditioned, available, and ready for use. Unlike soldier-carried systems, they are designed for larger blood volumes and longer use. 

This category includes higher-capacity, power-dependent equipment that maintains strict temperature control, protects blood during movement, and ensures rapid distribution to forward medical teams. active battery-powered blood coolers in 2-, 7-, 25-, and 45-litre capacities, all housed in robust Peli cases.

In such scenarios, we recommend using our tactical battery-powered blood coolers in 25L and 45L capacities, both housed in robust Peli cases.

Stabilization Point – Role 1 and Role 2 Forward

Covers the final stage of the blood transport chain, where blood is made ready for immediate use in forward surgical or operating field environments. 

The focus shifts from transport to rapid access and administration during critical interventions such as trauma resuscitation and damage control surgery. 

Compact treatment stations, tactical stretchers, and litter stands help create an efficient, stable, and quickly deployable setup, ensuring a smooth transition from storage to transfusion when time is critical.
