You have a lot to protect, bank more than cord blood.

Placental Tissue Storage

When you bank with LifebankUSA, we include tissue banking (tissue from the placenta) for free.* Placental tissue contains mesenchymal cells (MSCs) and MSC-like cells. While stem cells found in cord blood and placenta blood have been used to successfully treat patients, there are currently no approved uses for stem cells derived from the umbilical cord or placenta tissue. Possible therapeutic applications are in early research stages and LifebankUSA's parent company is actively involved in their development.

LifebankUSA will store the placenta tissue for you as part of our complete banking package using our cryogenic tanks for long-term preservation. In the event your baby's tissue cells are ever needed for future therapies, the tissue may then be processed using available technology at that time.†

Tissue banking is just one more layer of protection and peace of mind offered by LifebankUSA.


* Storage fees apply after the first year.
† If tissue is used in the future, clients will be responsible for the cost of shipping the tissue and any processing of the cells.
