Have you ever stressed about your unborn baby's future? Have you thought about all the frightening things that are out of your control, like birth defects, genetic diseases, and many more? As a new parent, you may have considered how to protect your baby’s future health. One way to do that is by considering banking your newborn baby's stem cells.
Stem cells have remarkable healing properties, as they can transform into different types of cells. The umbilical cord is an abundant source of stem cells that can be used to treat a variety of illnesses and diseases, including blood cancers, bone marrow disorders, immunodeficiencies, and metabolic disorders.
Did you know that umbilical cord blood contains ten times more stem cells than bone marrow? Plus, stem cells from the cord are less likely to be rejected by the body than adult stem cells, making them an ideal source for treatment. They are also younger and more viable than those from bone marrow, and tissue matching requirements are less stringent.
Currently, there are over 80 approved therapies where umbilical cord blood stem cells can be used. And if needed, cord blood stem cells can be accessed immediately, providing life-saving treatment options for your family.
In the past these precious cells would have been discarded as medical waste. The best part is that banking your baby's stem cells is a quick and painless process. Your doctor will collect the cord blood and a piece of the cord immediately after your baby is born. CryoSave South Africa will then process and store the sample in a cryo-preservation tank at a temperature of -180 °C. This ensures that your baby's stem cells remain viable for 20 years and more in storage.
