Summer Shipping Of Medical Cargo

Medical cargo is unique from all shipments that might be carried by a Miami delivery

service because it can be much more difficult to transport it safely at different times of the year. While most cargo faces the same challenges year round, with medical material there is a difficulty which presents itself in the summer time that is not present the rest of the year. This problem is heat. The hotter it is out, the more difficult it is to have successful medical deliveries made. That is why, when it is hot out, there are some special considerations that need to be taken when shipping medical goods.

Almost all medical material can be adversely affected by the heat. Pharmaceuticals are very delicate substances. Many medications and medicines can quickly spoil if they are allowed to become exposed to hot air for more than short periods of time. Other medical material is even more volatile and sensitive. Anything biological will begin to break down much faster if it is exposed to hot summer air. It doesn't matter whether you're shipping tissue samples for testing; blood, or organs, heat is going to shorten the life of the material dramatically.

The first step to making sure that you have a successful medical shipment when it's hot out is making sure that your cargo is packed correctly. There are two things here that you are going to be concerned with. You need to make sure that the package is very well insulated, and that it is resistant to breaking or cracking if it is subjected to any trauma.

The reason you need the containers to be insulated is because it can be difficult to control how long the containers are going to be exposed to warm air. When stored in buildings or vehicles, they will be in cooled storage units. However, when being delivered between those locations, any number of delays can occur. A non-insulated unit will quickly have the air inside heat up, damaging the goods, whereas an insulated one can protect them, even in the face of a delay.

Of course, having containers that are secure against damage is equally important. No matter how careful a courier is, accidents can happen, and there is always the possibility of a vehicle collision. If you have strong packaging, it ensures that a small bump won't end up exposing your valuable cargo to the destructive warm air outside.
