Collection, Processing and Storage

Cord Blood

Immediately after the delivery of a baby, the cord is clamped and cut .The caregiver then collects the umbilical cord blood by inserting a needle into the cord vein, and draining the blood into either a blood bag.

This procedure is painless and risk-free to both mother and baby. It takes about 3 minutes and does not alter the birthing process in any way. However, the final decision whether the cord blood collection should continue will always reside with your caregiver whose first priority is the safety of mother and baby.
