What Is Cord Blood Banking?

If you're wondering what cord blood banking is — or why families choose to bank their baby's cord blood — you're not alone. Many parents first hear about cord blood banking during pregnancy, and we're here to help you learn more.

Cord Blood

Cord blood is the blood that remains in your baby's umbilical cord after delivery. It contains stem cells that are responsible for building and maintaining a healthy blood and immune system, and have unique healing potential.

Banking

Instead of being discarded, cord blood can easily be collected and the stem cells cryopreserved for your family’s exclusive access and potential future medical use. Cord blood banking has been an option for 30+ years.

Uses

Cord blood can be used in stem cell transplants for a number of conditions to regenerate a healthy blood and immune system, and in regenerative medicine clinical trials exploring potential new applications.
