Placental tissue, including the umbilical cord, is rich in natural healing properties. Once donated, it is carefully processed and may be used in a variety of advanced medical treatments to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and support tissue regeneration.
Once you consent to donate, our team coordinates directly with your hospital and care team. The birth tissue is collected only after your baby is safely delivered, with no interruption to your delivery process. Our trained recovery specialists handle everything seamlessly and respectfully.
Ideally, we recommend contacting us at least 2–4 weeks before your scheduled C-section. This allows enough time to complete the consent process and gather your medical and social history.
At this time, we are only able to accept donations from planned C-section deliveries. If your delivery circumstances change, please reach out to us, and we’ll do our best to assist you.
