(888) 280-8375Since cord blood and cord tissue stem cells function differently, they may help repair the body in different ways.
Cord blood is the blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta after delivery.
Umbilical cord blood contains hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which have a 30-year history of saving lives. These powerful stem cells are the building blocks of the blood and immune system, and are used in the treatment of over 80 diseases like:
Blood disorders
Certain cancers
Immune disorders
Metabolic disorders
Cord tissue is in your baby’s umbilical cord, which contains mesenchymal stem cells.
Umbilical cord tissue is home to several cell types, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs are among the most widely researched cell types in the field of regenerative medicine1. Currently they’re being researched for conditions in categories like:
Autoimmune
Orthopedic
Cardiovascular
Neurological (acquired & degenerative)
Newborn stem cells can potentially be a powerful resource for your family, should they need it in the future.
They "know" how to find injured cells in the body and start a healing process2.
Newborn stem cells are younger and more flexible than adult stem cells from other sources, like bone marrow3.
Your baby is a 100% match to their own stem cells, and full siblings have up to a 75% chance of matching.
Cord blood stem cells are already being used to treat 80+ serious conditions of the blood and immune systems.
More than 500 clinical trials have initiated to study new born stem cells in regenerative medicine4.
Preserving your newborn’s stem cells now may give your family more medical options in the future.
Donor Egg Bank USA clients automatically qualify for the Cord Blood Advantage Program. Call CBR to get your collection kit at 1.888.204.8176.
Take the kit to the hospital on delivery day so your doctor or midwife can perform the collection after birth.
Call 1.888.204.8176 afterward and your medical courier will pick up your kit from the hospital or birthing center.

**Annual storage rates subject to change
The
use of cord blood is determined by the treating physician and is
influenced by many factors, including the patient's medical condition,
the characteristics of the sample, and whether the cord blood should
come from the patient or an appropriately matched donor. Cord blood has
established uses in transplant medicine; however, its use in
regenerative medicine is still being researched. There is no guarantee
that potential medical applications being studied in the laboratory or
clinical trials will become available.
Cord tissue use is still
in early research stages, and there is no guarantee that treatments
using cord tissue will be available in the future. Cord tissue is stored
whole. Additional processing prior to use will be required to extract
and prepare any of the multiple cell types from cryopreserved cord
tissue. Cbr Systems, Inc.’s activities for New York State residents are
limited to collection of umbilical cord tissue and long-term storage of
umbilical cord–derived stem cells. Cbr Systems, Inc.’s possession of a
New York State license for such collection and long-term storage does
not indicate approval or endorsement of possible future uses or future
suitability of these cells.
