Why Cord Blood Banking?
A Cord blood bank is a facility which stores processed Umbilical Cord blood for future use. Both private and public Cord blood banks have developed since the mid- to late-1990s in response to the potential for Cord blood transplants in treating diseases of the blood and immune systems.
Public banks accept donations to be used for anyone in need. Unlike private Cord blood banking, public Cord blood banking is supported by the medical community. However, there are very strict regulations which public banks need to follow in order to enable the donated units to be added to a registry. Once the blood is donated, it loses all identifying information after a short period of initial testing. Families will not have unrestricted access to their own sample after it has been donated.
Private banks store Cord blood with a link to the identity of the donor, so that the family may retrieve it later, if it is needed. The parents have custody of the Cord blood until the child is an adult. The Cord blood might someday be needed by the donor baby, or it could be used by a relative who is a close enough match to receive a transplant from the donor. Private banks charge a fee to preserve the stem cells harvested from Cord blood as family biological insurance.
Cord blood contains Hematopoietic stem cells, progenitor cells which can form red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Cord blood cells are currently used to treat blood and immune system related genetic diseases, cancers, and blood disorders.
Cord blood is collected after the delivery of the baby (either vaginally or by cesarean section) by inserting a needle into the umbilical vein. Typically, the entire process takes less than ten minutes.
Once the blood is sealed in the bag, it is shipped to a Cord blood bank, where it is processed for stem cells and frozen for long-term storage.
The process of collecting Cord blood is painless and safe for the mother and baby as well, with no interference with the birth plans or cutting the umbilical Cord.
