History

2026

Clinical Validation & International Deployment:
FrontlineODP™ achieves successful first-in-human Phase 1 clinical results, demonstrating a safety profile comparable to frozen plasma. The world’s first veliPod™ is deployed to France’s Armed Forces Blood Transfusion Centre (CTSA), marking a major step toward decentralized, sovereign production of dried plasma.

2025

From Development to Global Scale:
FrontlineODP™ moves toward global deployment as military and civilian blood centres across North America, Europe and the Indo-Pacific adopt Velico® technology. Installed and contracted production capacity exceeds 100,000 units annually, while Velico® announces plans to expand manufacturing capacity to nearly one million units per year.
