The Importance of Selecting the Right Cord Blood Bank
Cord Blood Bank, Cord Blood Bank
Selecting a cord blood bank in which to store your child’s cord blood following birth can potentially affect the future health of your child and family. When choosing a cord blood storage facility it is important to select a cord blood bank that will not only make the retrieval and storage process easy and convenient, but will also assure your family of reliable long term storage.
In addition to these elements, it is important to look for a cord blood bank that will provide you with the opportunity to potentially store the most lifesaving stem cells possible by enabling you to collect stem cells from both the placenta and the cord blood. While at one time it was only possible to store only stem cells taken from the umbilical cord, today parents can take advantage of the opportunity to store stem cells from the placenta as well, potentially resulting in more stem cells. Studies have shown that using more stem cells for treatment can increase treatment success and patient survival.
