Tissue and Cord Blood Banking Offers Many Important Medical Benefits

Tissue and Cord Blood Banking Offers Many Important Medical Benefits

After a child is delivered and the umbilical cord is severed, there is some remaining blood in the placenta vessels and part of the umbilical cord still attached. After birth, a child no longer requires this extra blood source. Cord blood is highly rich in hematopoietic stem cells very similar to those in bone marrow. Therefore, it is a viable alternative to bone marrow for transplantation. With the increased use of cord blood on an experimental basis for various diseases, many people are starting to recognize the benefits of blood cord banking. A number of physicians now recommend newborn blood cord banking to their patients. They realize the potential power of stem cells to help treat life-threatening diseases such as certain cancers including leukemia, and addressing disorders that are immune, blood and metabolic related. An infant's cord blood can be an invaluable medical resource for families with a history of illness. This alone has prompted many parents to make the decision to bank with a trusted provider such as StemCyte. Unlike several other forms of stem cell harvesting, removing stem cells from an infant's umbilical cord doesn't harm or destroy the embryo. Also, a stem cell transplant from cord blood doesn't require an exact match in the way a bone marrow transplant does. A large benefit to using a private bank is that the cord blood is reserved exclusively for each family. We at StemCyte offer an industry-leading guarantee that stem cells will engraft upon transplantation or all service fees are fully refunded. Many parents may have never considered the process of collecting and preserving their newborn's cord tissue and blood. Once they realize how easy the process is and the potential benefits involved, the more inclined they are to do so. There is no risk or pain to both the child and mother throughout the collection process. This is because the blood is removed from the cord after being clamped and cut. Cord blood and tissue removal is safe for both conventional and cesarean deliveries. Our clients frequently tell us that the decision to use our services is highly rewarding.
