Why save stem cells?
Potential life saver
Stem cells from the umbilical cord have been able to replace diseased and dysfunctional cells in the body. 1 in 200 people may need a stem cell transplant during their lifetime. Saving stem cells means that they are available for treatment, immediately when needed.
Perfect match
Your child's stem cells have 100% match for his or her own use. The child's stored stem cells have a natural self-healing function. Using their own cells for medical treatment involves minimal risk of complications and there is no risk of transferrable diseases from the donor.
Siblings & Family donation
Siblings have a 25% chance of being a perfect match for each other. In addition, immature stem cells recovered from umbilical cord are more adaptable than others, a partial match may suffice. This causes the chance to increase to over 75% that the stem cells can be used in the family.
Already treatment for 80 fatal diseases
Since the first life-saving transplant with stem cells was made in 1988, over 50,000 people have been treated for life-threatening diseases such as leukemia, immunodeficiency and cancer.
The future of regenerative medicine
We are in the midst of a stem cell revolution. When you save stem cells with Cellaviva, you invest in potential future treatment options for today's untreatable diseases like diabetes, MS, ALS, CP and many more.
Why newborn Stem Cells Matter
It is custom for the partner to cut the umbilical cord in Sweden. By cutting one more time and thus cutting of a piece of the cord, he or anyone else, would have done a stem cell collection. In contrast to what many people think, the collection of stem cells is a simple procedure that can be done by the partner or any person supporting the mother at childbirth. In addition, the blood that is left in the cord and placenta can also be collected by trained personnel since the blood contains another stem cell type.
All the cells in your body are derived from a single stem cell, the fertilized egg. Stem cells are the building blocks of the body and they have unique attributes that can repair diseased or damaged tissue. The most common use of the family saved stem cells from cord blood is treatment of a sibling with leukemia. Stem cells from cord tissue are of great interest for regenerative medicine purposes and therapies are under development.
When your child is born and the umbilical cord is cut, Cellaviva can help you to save the stem cells that remain in the cord tissue and cord blood. The collection is done without any intervention, we take care of a waste product. The stem cells are safely stored in liquid nitrogen in the family’s own box in the freezer, saved for your family and future.
