The company successfully created a robust thermal solution, incorporating enhanced fibre insulation and a Stage 3 inner bag with Phase Change Material, forming a self-compression thermal sandwich. This innovation exceeded NHS requirements, holding the required temperature for 5 hours—nearly double the requested 3 hours—with a temperature loss of less than 1°C. Competing against international manufacturers, Polar Thermal’s British-made system achieved a 100% score, showcasing exceptional innovation and excellence in life-saving medical transport.
The system was developed in response to a challenge issued by NHS Blood & Transplant.
Blood platelets play a crucial role in surgery, organ transplants, and cancer care by enabling blood clotting and preventing excessive bleeding. Vital for wound healing and recovery, platelets are essential in managing complications during surgery, supporting organ function post-transplant, and helping cancer patients recover from treatments that affect their blood.
