Most families bank their baby's cord blood stem cells with Cord Blood Registry® for peace of mind, knowing that these stem cells can be lifesaving to their baby and other family members. By saving your baby's cord blood with CBR, you secure an invaluable medical resource that can help you protect your baby:

  • Enable your child to benefit from breakthrough uses. You can be prepared for the unknowns in life as cord blood stem cells are showing significant promise in the treatment of conditions like brain injury and juvenile diabetes.
  • Use in lifesaving treatments for nearly 80 serious diseases. Cord blood has been used successfully for decades, saving many lives from serious diseases including leukemia, other cancers, and blood disorders.
  • Know you have secured the best treatment option for your family. Using your own family's cord blood has been shown to significantly improve medical outcomes compared to using cord blood from someone outside your family1 so you can rest assured that your family has the advantages of related cord blood if ever needed.
  • Take advantage of your one chance. Birth is the only opportunity to save your baby's genetically unique cord blood stem cells. Otherwise, they are simply thrown away at the hospital.
