What is family cord blood banking?
Family Cord Blood Banking is now available in Australia
Cryosite pioneered private “autologous” cord blood stem cell banking in Australia in 2002. “Autologous” means your child’s cord blood can only be used to treat themselves. Cryosite is now proud to announce that it has been fully licensed by the Therapeutic Goods Administration to also provide a Family Cord Blood Banking service for Australian families. Family banking (also called “directed allogeneic”) means your child’s cord blood can also be used to treat other compatible family members.
What is Family Cord Blood Banking?
“Family Cord Blood Banking” means your child’s cord blood stem cells can be used to treat both themselves and other compatible family members. “Family Cord Blood Banking” represents a significant new era in cord blood banking in Australia and greatly extends the potential uses for your child’s cord blood.
Family Cord Blood Banking is only available through Cryosite
Cryosite is Australia’s only Family Cord Blood Bank. This means that Cryosite is the only private cord blood bank licensed to release your child’s cord blood to treat other compatible family members.
Family Cord Blood Banking costs no more
Cryosite does not charge any additional fees for family cord blood banking.
Why bank for one child only, when cord blood stem cells banked with Cryosite can now be used to treat other compatible family members?
