Company partners with Tribalco to develop Golden Hour Medic for military personnel looking to transport life-saving materials further on the battlefield.

Pelican BioThermal, a provider of temperature-controlled packaging solutions serving the life sciences industry, and strategic partner Tribalco, LLC, now offer the Golden Hour™ Medic for military personnel looking to transport life-saving materials further on the battlefield.

Built from the same technology used in Pelican’s 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. Today, Pelican BioThermal’s packaging offerings provide temperature control durations that include 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.

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.
