Expecting a newborn is an exciting time for parents. It is a time filled with joy, with preparing the home, and protecting your child’s wellbeing. As you invest the time to prepare yourself and secure your home for your new baby, think about cord blood banking—a smart decision that could impact the future of your baby and your entire family. Hundreds of thousands of families have banked their baby’s cord blood because, like you, they want future treatment options for their families. They know that cord blood stem cell transplants have already saved thousands of lives—and offer the possibilities of saving far more. Only LifebankUSA^® can provide you with the most stem cells possible by collecting not only the cord blood, but also an additional unit of stem cells from the placenta. Research has shown that treating debilitating and life-threatening diseases with more stem cells significantly improved treatment success and patient survival…and that offers you greater peace of mind.

Here’s how LifebankUSA can offer you greater peace of mind:

Placenta-Cord Banking. Only LifebankUSA offers banking of stem cells from 2 sources that help sustain a baby’s life during pregnancy: the placenta and the cord blood (also known as Placenta-Cord banking).

Improved Treatment Success. Placenta-Cord banking can provide you with the most stem cells possible.  Research has shown that treating debilitating and life-threatening diseases with more stem cells significantly improved treatment success and patient survival.

Two Potential Sources of Cells that could Save a Life. Unlike other cord blood banks, only LifebankUSA enables you to save stem cells from 2 sources, yielding 2 distinct units.

High Quality Cord Blood. LifebankUSA cord blood units are, on average, 99% pure or free of red blood cells.  If a cord blood bank’s processing method resulted in a high percentage of red blood cells remaining in the final cord blood unit, complications could occur if administered to your baby. ^{7,11,12,13,14,15}

Success. LifebankUSA is an AABB (formerly known as the American Association of Blood Banks) accredited and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) registered cord blood bank that has provided placenta-derived stem cell and cord blood banking services for tens of thousands of families around the world, with 99% client satisfaction.^†  

Stability. LifebankUSA is owned by Celgene Corporation (NASDAQ:CELG). Celgene is a successful and stable multinational biopharmaceutical company committed to improving the lives of patients worldwide.  In collaboration with Celgene, LifebankUSA is the only cord blood bank  that performs ongoing research focused on increasing the value of placenta-derived stem cells and cord blood.* LifebankUSA and Celgene also collaborate with some of the country’s premier medical centers to advance therapies in the areas of cancer and other diseases of significant unmet medical needs.

^† More than 99% of LifebankUSA clients who responded to a voluntary survey said they would recommend LifebankUSA to their families and friends.

* All research is conducted using publicly donated placenta-derived stem cells and cord blood stem cells (not embryonic stem cells). The stem cells you privately bank with LifebankUSA are your own and will never be used for research purposes.
