Meet Velico at upcoming conferences across North America and Europe and learn more about our FrontlineODP™ Spray Dried Plasma Manufacturing System. America’s Blood Centers (ABC) Annual Meeting, Tucson, Arizona (Mar 9–12) | DMHD – Defense Medical & Health Delivery Conference, London, UK (Mar 24–25)
Our Spray dried plasma unit the FrontlineODP™ (On Demand Plasma) is designed for rapid rehydration, intended to support the management of traumatic hemorrhage in situations where conventional plasma is unavailable or impractical. This includes pre-hospital transfusions, rural and austere healthcare settings, and military applications.
A spray dried plasma solution will potentially allow for new methods of blood product distribution throughout the EMT community. The potential longevity of Spray Dried Plasma means that emergency vehicles may be able to carry this product for longer than whole blood or other alternatives without replenishing as often.
In addition, as spray dried plasma is being designed to be stored in ambient conditions, it has the potential to save more lives, especially where emergency vehicles do not have appropriate refrigerated facilities but could provide ambient controlled temperature storage conditions.
The FrontlineODP™ unit is easily rehydrated in two and a half minutes with 200ml of sterile water (SWFI), making it practical in prehospital and hospital settings (i.e. rural) where fresh plasma is unavailable.
Severe bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death after traumatic injury. When minutes matter, early plasma administration has been shown to save lives.*
Despite this, 30–40% of deaths from bleeding are considered preventable. In the United States alone, more than 30,000 people die each year from bleeding that might have been stopped. Globally, that number rises to over 100,000 preventable deaths every year.*
The need for plasma in emergencies is not new. During World War II, over 10 million units of dried plasma were produced to support lifesaving care. Today, global production capacity is less than 30,000 units annually —
far below what is needed to protect both civilian and
military patients.
In just over 30 minutes, the FrontlineODP Spray Dried Plasma System transforms one unit of plasma into a shelf stable, ready to use spray dried plasma product. With a single Frontline ODP System, you can produce up to 9,000 units annually.
The FrontlineODP™ Spray Dried Plasma Manufacturing System is being designed for easy integration in blood center component laboratories. Decentralized production by blood centers will aim to take advantage of blood component manufacturing expertise
and product supply chains, from established volunteer blood donor bases to end user distribution including emergency logistics channels.
Decentralized production sets the stage for local spray dried plasma self-sufficiency and national emergency preparedness including civilian, government and military collaboration for strategic stockpiles and readiness for major mass casualty events.
At Velico, innovation means bringing lifesaving plasma production closer to where it’s needed most. Building on our FrontlineODP™ spray-dried plasma technology, we developed the veliPod™, a modular, self-contained plasma production lab engineered for rapid deployment and scalable capacity.
