°MEQU and Fenton Pharmaceuticals win MOD tender for blood warmer

°MEQU, in cooperation with UK partner Fenton Pharmaceuticals, has won a public tender to provide portable blood and IV fluid warming devices (˚M Warmer System) to The Ministry of Defence (MOD). 

The ˚M Warmer System was chosen by the UK MOD as it has been proven to satisfy all the criteria set for their blood and IV warming needs. The system is small, light and robust and is easy to set up. It delivers warm blood or IV fluids to patients within a few seconds.

Ulrik Krogh Andersen, CEO, said: “Fluid resuscitation before arriving at a hospital is shown to significantly reduce mortality among severely injured patients. We are glad that the UK MOD chose our ˚M Warmer System to treat their service people. With their choice, we at °MEQU keep up with our mission to improve the survival and recovery rate of patients regardless of where the injury occurs.”

Graham Hill, MD Fenton Pharmaceuticals, added: ”We are very happy that the UK MOD has chosen the °M Warmer System as the blood and fluid warmer for British troops. We have for quite some time supplied the system to an increasing number of civilian HEMS units, but this confirms that the system is ideal for both civilian and military use.”
