Cord Blood Banking

Cord blood banking is the once-in-a lifetime opportunity for parents to save the stem cells found in the blood of their newborn’s umbilical cord. The preservation of these stem cells, which are different from embryonic stem cells, allows families the benefit of having them available for existing or future medical treatments. Cord blood banking is completely safe for both the mother and the newborn since cord blood is collected after the baby is born and after the umbilical cord has been clamped and cut. Cord blood banking allows you to store your newborn’s cord blood stem cells specifically for your family, making them available immediately should your family ever need them. This service is provided by cord blood banks which charge a fee for collection, processing, and storage in which you retain ownership of your newborn’s stem cells. Research has shown that transplants with related cord blood stem cells have double the survival rates as compared with unrelated (publically donated) cord blood stem cells.

When deciding what is best for you and your family, it is important to know about all of your cord blood banking options. These sites provide valuable information on the benefits of collecting and storing stem cells from your cord blood. The links to ViaCord, Cord Blood Registry listed below, will help explain why this simple procedure could protect the health of your child and other family members.
