Transplant Transport – How We Completed an Express Transport in Controlled Temperature [Case Study]

In the pharmaceutical and medical industry, every minute and every detail of the transport process are crucial. When it comes to transporting such sensitive material as a skin autograft for transplantation, time and proper transport conditions are an absolute priority. As a company with years of experience in pharmaceutical and medical transports, we took on this challenge, executing a complex transport from Italy to Norway for a surgical procedure.

Key Challenge: Controlled Temperature Transport and Timely Delivery

The order we received involved the transportation of a skin autograft, which was to be used during a scheduled transplantation procedure. This required not only precise transport but also adherence to strict temperature regulations. The material had to be transported under proper conditions to maintain its biological and medical properties. To ensure the specific temperature, in addition to the standard vehicle equipment with sensors, we included a data logger in the shipment. This device monitored the temperature and allowed for an immediate response in case of any deviation.

Express Transport: Safe and Smooth Delivery

The transport was carried out using a Frigo Express vehicle, which is ideal for urgent controlled temperature transports. Another crucial factor influencing the delivery time was the customs checks at the borders. Thanks to our collaboration with our customs agency, the transport did not have to wait at the borders and had all the necessary documents prepared well in advance, ensuring on-time delivery.

This is why express transport services guarantee fast door-to-door delivery – without reloading, minimizing the risk of damage. Such a form of transport is crucial for sensitive goods that require precise delivery to a specific location at a specific time.

“Express transport is our specialty. In the case of transporting the skin autograft, it was crucial that the material arrived on time and in perfect condition. Thanks to the absence of reloading and optimized processes, we were able to maintain full control over the sensitive cargo. Additionally, our vehicles are equipped with GPS systems and dedicated apps that allowed us to monitor the transport 24/7,” says Łukasz Przytarski.

Access to Hard-to-Reach Locations

Another challenge was reaching the final destination – the hospital in Norway. Many such locations are hard to access, not only city centers but also large hospital complexes. Often, delivering the shipment itself is a logistical challenge due to the numerous buildings, staff, and operating rooms. However, we have experience in handling such transport operations and always ensure that the delivery is made directly into the hands of the intended recipient.

Flexibility and Immediate Response

In the case of medical and pharmaceutical transports, every situation may require immediate action. What sets us apart is our readiness to quickly respond to any changing circumstances. Whether it’s adjusting pickup times or adapting the transport to new requirements, we are able to react swiftly and tailor the transport to urgent and non-standard requests.

“Based on our experience with this type of shipment, we were ready to quickly respond to any potential vehicle or driver change. Road transport is constantly subject to changing conditions – traffic jams, breakdowns, etc., for which we were prepared. What is always our priority is the safety of the cargo, punctuality, and full customer satisfaction,” adds Łukasz Przytarski.

The transport of a skin autograft, which is a high-value material requiring special care, is an example of how we handle the transportation of sensitive cargo. We have a wide fleet of vehicles and vetted carriers who are properly trained in transporting goods that require specialized conditions.
