Why Store Your Newborn's Umbilical Cord Lining?

• Life-Saving Potential – Once stored, the umbilical cord lining tissue will always be there to provide the potentially life-saving stem cells that your son or daughter may need to overcome illness, heal traumatic injuries, or treat a severe disease.

• Standardized Procedure – Collection and storage of umbilical cord lining tissue stem cells is a safe, standardized procedure that does not interfere with your birth plan, whether delivering naturally or by Caesarian-section.

• Simple and Non-Invasive – Immediately after your baby’s umbilical cord has been cut, the precious umbilical cord tissue is prepared for transport and storage in the licensed facility. It takes no more than a few minutes and both mother and baby will not notice anything.

• Lifetime Access to Cutting-Edge Regenerative Medical Therapy – Banking your newborn's umbilical cord tissue through GlobalCord's licensed partners ensures lifetime access to breakthrough stem cell treatments that are increasing by the day.

Why Choose GlobalCord?
 

• Proprietary Stem Cell Harvesting and Processing Technology – GlobalCord's licensed partners use CellResearch Corporation's patented technology to efficiently extract and preserve the highest quality stem cells from the umbilical cord lining. This unique process consistently yields significantly higher quantity and better quality stem cells than the industry standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is umbilical cord lining tissue?

A. The outermost lining membrane of the umbilical cord contains the richest source of epithelial and mesenchymal stem cells — the building blocks of all tissues — in the human body. By collecting and preserving this stem-cell-rich tissue, parents, their children, and their families will have access to the cells for regenerative medical therapies that may help treat future injuries, illnesses, and disorders.

Q. Does collecting the umbilical cord lining affect the newborn or the mother?

A. No, the umbilical cord lining is harvested only after the newborn has been delivered and the umbilical cord has already been clamped and cut. Collecting and extracting the cord lining takes no more than a few minutes.

Q. What can umbilical cord lining stem cells be used for?

A. Stem cell researchers continue to discover new medical applications for umbilical cord lining stem cells every day. Umbilical cord lining stem cells are particularly beneficial because they come from a high yielding source — the umbilical cord lining — and can be differentiated into a broader range of cells to repair and regenerate solid organ tissue than stem cells derived from bone marrow or peripheral blood.
