Why
bank cord blood?
Why
it’s worth it
Securing cord blood at birth is arguably one of the most important decisions you will make during your pregnancy. The right to make it is given to you by the European Parliament Resolution of 11.09.2012 on voluntary tissue donation. Find out what benefits stem cell banking from cord blood, umbilical cord and placenta brings to your family.
Advantages of stem cell banking
80 oncological and hematological diseases
So many diseases are treated with stem cell transplantation from cord blood
Autism and cerebral palsy
Recent studies show clinical benefit of giving own cord blood
Regenerative medicine
Stem cells from the umbilical cord are widely used in the reconstruction of neurons, joints and bones
1:100
This is the likelihood of stem cell treatment in the future
What do you gain by banking stem cells from your baby’s cord blood and umbilical cord?
Your family’s safety
So many diseases are treated with stem cell transplantation from cord blood
Valuable time
Valuable time, which is crucial during treatment. You don’t have to search for years for a compatible donor as you do with bone marrow.
Access to modern therapy
Which can improve health or save lives.
Additional opportunity
for treatment when other therapies fail.
A one-of-a-kind policy
On life for your loved ones.
Treatment with cells
stem cells
We don’t know the future and we don’t know what diseases may happen to our loved ones. The probability of stem cell treatment in the future is currently 1:100, and the cells can serve both the child during whose birth they were taken and his siblings, as well as the child’s family (with compatible HLA). The collection is non-invasive and completely safe for both mother and child.
Who in your family will be able to benefit from stem cells?
By securing cord blood
Child, Siblings and Parents*
By securing the umbilical cord
The whole family and grandparents
*Subject to compatibility in the humanleukocyte antigens (HLA) system (tissue compatibility system).
It is worth remembering that the birth of a child is the only time when cord blood can be collected and the stem cells it contains can be secured. It is worth making a conscious decision about banking.
What are the limitations?
That’s not all
Despite the growing number of indications, stem cells are not applicable in all diseases
It costs
Cord blood collection and banking is not reimbursed by the National Health Service, so Parents must bear the costs themselves
It is not always possible to download
There are contraindications to cord blood donation, such as HIV infection
