Rattler Medical Named Best Innovator at SOF Week 2026

Rattler Medical received the Best Innovator Award at SOF Week 2026, the annual Special Operations Forces convention co-hosted by U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and Global SOF in Tampa, Florida, May 18-21, 2026.

Rattler Medical exhibited in Accelerator Alley, a zone for companies selected to showcase early-stage technology entering the SOF ecosystem. A panel of judges chose eight of those companies to pitch, and Rattler Medical was named Best Innovator for LifeHold, our portable, battery-powered system for keeping blood and other biologics at safe temperatures in the field.

The recognition reflects a simple goal: put whole blood within reach of the medic at the point of injury, wherever that is.
