Stem cell collection, processing & preservation:

For most parents, the process of collecting, processing and preserving their newborn’s cord blood is a new one. The more you learn about cord blood banking, the more you will realize how simple it is to do. Below is valuable information about banking your baby’s cord blood. Should you still have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Cord Blood Collection
Cord blood is collected from the umbilical cord immediately after a baby’s birth, but generally before the placenta has been delivered. The moment of delivery is the only opportunity to harvest a newborn’s stem cells. There is absolutely no pain or risk to the mother or child during the collection process since the blood is taken from the cord once it has been clamped and cut. And collection is safe for both vaginal and cesarean deliveries.

To collect cord blood, a healthcare provider uses our Collection Kit supplied by Teva-Cell - so advance arrangements will need to be made. Cord blood is drawn from the umbilical cord into the blood collection bag that comes in the kit.
The baby’s blood is then packaged in the special shipping materials provided. Lastly, parents call a courier's telephone number to arrange for pick-up and delivery of the cord blood to Teva-Cell’s laboratory in Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

Many healthcare professionals charge a fee for the procedure of collecting umbilical cord blood. So, discuss this procedure with them prior to enrolling our service to verify their agreement to perform the collection.
