These factors limit both patient movement and the ability to deliver blood products to the point of need. Current projections are that future military scenarios will have longer times to reach a medical treatment facility than experienced in recent conflicts, increasing the need for logistically efficient blood products. Freeze-dried plasma (FDP) is rapidly available, easy to use, and shelf-stable at room temperature, making it easier to deliver at the point of need in challenging military environments. For the past 30 years, FDP has been available in only a few countries. Where it has been available, it has become the preferred plasma for austere or military expeditionary settings. Recently, a new FDP, OctaplasLG Powder, was approved in 17 countries worldwide and for emergency use by the Canadian and United States militaries.
