While many parents are banking their babies' cord blood, you can do more by banking stem cells from 2 usable sources of stem cell-rich blood: the umbilical cord and the placenta. This service is called Placenta-Cord banking, and it's available only from LifebankUSA®.
Banking placental blood in addition to cord blood doubles the number of segments preserved and increases the total number of stem cells available.1 This is important for 2 reasons. First, transplanting more stem cells has been shown to increase the probability of transplant success and survival.2-4 Second, having multiple segments available may offer the potential to treat additional conditions that may affect your baby and/or other close family members (blood relatives).
Only LifebankUSA is registered with the FDA for stem cells collected from both the umbilical cord and the placenta (Placenta-Cord banking).
"I recommend combining placenta-derived stem cells and cord blood because it gives you the most cells possible-including more of the stem cells that matter most for a potentially lifesaving transplant. LifebankUSA is the only cord blood banking company that provides placenta-derived stem cells and cord blood stem cell banking to families."
