Pall Sterile Cord Blood Collection Unit

What is this medication?

The Pall Sterile Cord Blood Collection Unit is a specialized medical device used to collect umbilical cord blood from the placenta immediately after the birth of a baby. This collection process takes place while the placenta is still in the uterus or shortly after it has been delivered. The primary goal is to gather a high-quality sample of cord blood, which contains valuable hematopoietic stem cells that can be used for medical treatments or transplants to treat various blood-related disorders and immune system diseases.

This sterile unit typically consists of a collection bag pre-filled with an anticoagulant solution known as Citrate Phosphate Dextrose. This solution prevents the collected blood from clotting, ensuring that the stem cells remain viable and suitable for processing or long-term storage in a cord blood bank. The system is designed for a single-use, closed-loop process to maintain sterility and minimize the risk of contamination, providing a safe and efficient way for healthcare providers to obtain these biological materials during the birthing process.
