Benefits of Storing Umbilical Cord Blood & Tissue
Personal & family coverage
Stored stem cells are available for your child, and possibly for siblings or matched family members — eliminating donor waiting time.
Non-invasive, once-in-a-lifetime procedure
The collection at birth involves no risk to mother or baby and doesn’t interfere with delivery plans.
Preservation of potency
Stem cells collected at birth are more potent (younger, less exposure) and have greater regenerative flexibility.
Access to cutting-edge treatments
Experimental and clinical trials are expanding the applications of stem cells — preserving now means you may benefit from future breakthroughs.
Peace of mind & medical insurance
Even if you never need to use them, having stored stem cells removes uncertainties about donor matches, transplant compatibility, or finding the right quality sample.
