A Valuable Resource Available Only at Birth

Your baby's umbilical cord blood contains valuable stem cells that can only be collected at birth.

MedCells has been dedicated to helping families make informed decisions about cord blood banking for more than 20 years.

Why Families Consider Cord Blood Banking

The birth of a child is filled with important decisions. One of those decisions is whether to preserve the stem cells found in umbilical cord blood.

Cord blood is a rich source of valuable stem cells that have been used in established medical treatments and continue to be studied in ongoing research.

Many parents choose cord blood banking because:

  • Collection is performed immediately after birth
  • Simple and non-invasive process for mother and baby
  • Cord blood contains valuable stem cells
  • Stem cell research continues to expand worldwide
  • The opportunity exists only once - at birth

What Is Cord Blood?

Cord blood is the blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta after a baby is born. This blood contains valuable stem cells including hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which are the stem cells responsible for producing different types of blood cells.

Researchers and healthcare professionals have long recognized the importance of these cells in medical treatments and ongoing scientific studies.

Because cord blood is normally discarded after birth, collection must take place immediately following delivery.

A One-Time Opportunity

Unlike many healthcare decisions that can be made later, cord blood collection is only possible at the time of birth. The collection window lasts only a few minutes after delivery.

Cord Blood Facts

80+ Medical Conditions

can be treated with cord blood including blood disorders, certain types of cancers, immune system and metabolic disorders.

85,000+ Transplants

have been performed worldwide using umbilical cord blood stem cells.

30+ Years

of being used in medical field since the first successful cord blood transplant in 1988.

Stem Cells and Medical Research

Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to develop into specialized cells within the body.

Today, stem cells from cord blood have been used in established treatments for certain blood-related disorders and immune system conditions.

As scientific knowledge advances, interest in stem cell preservation continues to grow.

Researchers continue to explore new possibilities in areas such as:

• Regenerative medicine
• Immune system research
• Cellular therapies
• Tissue repair studies
• Future medical innovations
