Birth Tissue Donation Program – United Tissue Resources

Birth Tissue Donation Program

What Is Birth Tissue Donation?

After the birth of a baby, the placenta and umbilical cord are usually discarded. Mothers now have the option to donate this “birth tissue.” The donated gifts will be transformed into healing grafts used to bring relief to those suffering from painful wounds.
Why Donate?

Birth tissue is rich in natural components that promote healing. For patients who may not be able to heal properly on their own, this could truly be life-changing. When applied to wounds, grafts made from birth tissue promote new blood vessel formation, stimulate cell growth, and help to rebuild damaged tissue while reducing pain and scar formation. These grafts are also less likely to be rejected by the recipient’s immune system, making it more likely that these procedures will be successful.

Q&A for Mothers

Is it safe for me to donate?

Yes! Birth tissue donation is safe, painless, and will never affect the care provided to the mother or baby.

What does it cost for me to donate?

Birth tissue donation is completely free. There will be no additional cost added to your delivery.
