Pelican BioThermal, Tribalco Collaborate to Offer Mobile Critical Care Blood Transport Containers Utilizing Golden Hour™ Technology

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pelican BioThermal, a global leader providing the broadest and most
innovative range of temperature-controlled packaging solutions serving
the life sciences industry, and strategic partner Tribalco, LLC, now
offer a solution for military personnel looking to transport life-saving
materials further on the battlefield, the Golden Hour™ Medic. Built from
the same technology used in their award-winning Golden Hour™ Mobile
container, the smaller-scale product can be carried on a person,
allowing combat medics and other military medical personnel to transport
blood products to locations vehicles may not be able to reach.
Pelican BioThermal’s Golden Hour™ Mobile container was developed,
shortly after 9/11, to protect military troops’ lives in the battlefield
in the harshest of environments and climates. In 2004 this container was
the winner of the ‘Army’s Greatest Invention Award’. Today, Pelican
BioThermal’s™ packaging solutions provide the most reliable, longest
temperature control duration on the market — including 96, 120 or even
144 hours or more of thermal protection. The Golden Hour™ Medic offers
the same thermal protection on a smaller and lighter scale.
“The Golden Hour™ Mobile container technology on a smaller scale allows
troops to take life-saving materials far distances from home base, while
still successfully keeping blood at the critical temperature,” said
Pelican BioThermal Vice President of Worldwide Sales, Kevin Lawler.
“Temperature-controlled packaging, while it’s our focus at Pelican
BioThermal, is just one piece of a large puzzle, and that’s why the team
at Tribalco is a great fit for us as strategic partners. They helped us
define requirements for what’s really needed in the field, involving
military field personnel for testing and design feedback. This
partnership allows us to deliver a better solution to combat medics on
the front lines.”
As a global provider of mission-critical information technology,
integrated telecommunications, and survival system solutions, Tribalco
provides mission-critical information technology, integrated
telecommunications, and soldier survival solutions to defense, civilian
government, and commercial customers around the world. As strategic
partners, Pelican BioThermal and Tribalco attend military trade shows
together to showcase current products and determine innovative
enhancements to improve Golden Hour™ containers for their customers.
“The feedback we receive from the decision makers in the special
operations medicine field is invaluable,” said Tribalco Director of
Operations, Jeremy Catrone. “Attending shows like SOMSA and SOFIC
provide the opportunity to get feedback from medical advisors and better
define operational needs. We are then able to collaborate with Pelican
BioThermal to develop specific products focused on one goal; saving the
lives of our troops.”
Pelican BioThermal and Tribalco will showcase the Golden Hour™ Medic and
Golden Hour™ Mobile at these upcoming military and special operations
medicine trade shows:

• Special Operations Medical Association Scientific Assembly (SOMSA) May
  23-26, 2016 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North
