Cord Blood & Cord tissue Collection
After the baby is born, cord blood will be collected into the cord blood collection bag. Your physician will then collect the umbilical cord and place it in the collection vessel for cord tissue. These steps are the same regardless of whether you have normal delivery or have a C-section.
Using Banked Stem Cells
The stem cells can be stored for the lifetime of your child and used at any time. They can also potentially be used to treat other members of your family.
