The placenta is typically discarded after the birth of the baby. However in tissue donation, mothers make an informed decision to “pay it forward” after a scheduled caesarean section delivery. There are no side effects or risks associated with the donation of the birth tissue to either the mother or child.
Both birth mother and donated tissue are thoroughly screened and tested to ensure that the product is safe for transplantation. To further minimize risk, it is terminally sterilized.
The use of Procenta® has been shown to be an effective treatment option. Consult with your physician to discuss your current condition.
When the tissue is processed, cellular components (including blood cells) are removed to prevent the chance of tissue rejection. Anti-rejection drugs are not required for the transplant recipient.
The placenta contains everything the
baby needs to support its growth and development. It also acts as a protective barrier for the child during pregnancy.
For over 100 years, products derived from birth tissue have contributed to the treatment of conditions associated with debilitating pain, amputation, corneal
blindness, and other various medical ailments.
Your single donation has the potential to help recipients improve their quality of life. The healing capacity of products derived from birth tissue have been shown to benefit wound healing for conditions that may otherwise result in amputation, corneal blindness or debilitating pain.Unless you request otherwise, your placenta will be disposed of. Donation of your placenta will not interfere with the delivery process and your baby will not be affected in any way.
The placenta is elegantly complex. While it has been used therapeutically for over 100 years, it is considered to be the least understood in the human anatomy. Your donation will contribute to our ongoing research to advance the understanding of this remarkable organ.
