Cord blood storage

This principle of conservation involves the donation in accordance with the founding principles of the bioethics law that are free and anonymous. The gift to others is encouraged by the state and learned societies for the sake of more efficient medical care. Indeed, the cell transplant from a compatible person is, in most cases, one that offers the best chance of healing the patient for all blood diseases who need a transplant, such as leukemia or congenital aplasia in which bone marrow is invaded by abnormal cells or stops working.



In 2009, 247 patients received a transplant "allogeneic" cord blood, that is to say, carried out with the cord blood of another child himself. Worldwide,
10 000 patients have benefited from this technique since its inception. This figure is steadily increasing for years, both in France than in the rest of the world.


Samples are regulated, controlled and comply with international standards recognized by the medical community needed to provide patients with safe and effective transplantation. Custodial institutions now allow authorized access to transplants of cord blood of high quality for the benefit of all patients who need it, anywhere in the world. This system of giving and conservation to others offers the best chance for patients.
