More than Just Cord Blood
Unlike companies that only preserve cord blood, LifebankUSA™ is the first and only stem cell bank in the United States to store and release placenta-derived stem cells, in combination with stem cells from cord blood, for transplant. One of LifebankUSA’s goals is to help medical professionals educate expecting parents about their stem cell banking options and the fact that not all banks just collect and preserve cord blood alone. One of the reasons expecting parents choose LifebankUSA is because of the potential increase in CD34+ stem cells banked with Placenta-Cord banking compared to cord blood alone. Expecting parents have the option to bank stem cells from 2 sources: the placenta and the cord blood. This unique cord blood and placenta-derived stem cell banking option can provide expecting parents with the potential to bank the most CD34+ stem cells possible—and more CD34+ stem cells have been shown to improve transplant success and patient survival in the treatment of potentially life-threatening diseases and conditions.
