A Miami courier service which has a division specializing in the delivery of medical materials may have, and likely will again in the future, deal in whole blood delivery. This is the transportation of blood that has been donated to blood banks or health organizations and has not yet been separated into its component parts. In order to transport blood, a courier must have access to temperature controlled units which can store the blood at the proper temperature in order to preserve its life and its usefulness. Whole blood only remains viable for slightly more than thirty days, and only then if it is stored at the proper temperature at all times, which is why it is important that if it needs to be transported somewhere that it is done so quickly, and safely, which means keeping it in a proper temperature controlled unit in order to protect the blood at all times.
Whole blood is often the form that a courier service will deal with for transportation purposes, because the separate components of blood, which it is broken into for most transfusions, can be much more difficult to transport because of the more extreme temperatures at which they must often be stored. Typically speaking, when blood is actually given to a person they only give them a part of the blood, such as the red blood cells, or the plasma, in order to correct their shortage, but the separated components often need more complex storage solutions.
There are many smaller centres within any state that have a need for blood at their hospitals and clinics but which may not receive adequate donations in order to deal with emergencies that may arise. That is why in Florida, the larger blood banks and organizations in cities like Miami can use the availability of a medically specializing courier service in order to move whole blood to locations where it may be needed. This is also a service that is frequently called into action if there is any kind of major disaster, where many more times blood may be needed than is to hand in any given area. In situations like these, blood may in fact be transported from many areas into a single staging area in order to be able to handle the transfusions. The ability to safely and quickly move blood improves the level of care to those who may not be injured or live in an area with the blood that they need to help them, making it an extremely valuable service.
