Thanks to their regenerative properties, stem cells have immense potential in medicine. The umbilical cord is a prime source of stem cells, present in both blood and umbilical tissue. Today, they are used in numerous therapies for over 80 diseases, including blood diseases and cancer.

The medical profession and researchers recognise the current and future potential of stem cells and the importance of preserving them. Stem cells from blood and cord tissue offer optimal compatibility and high concentration, and create valuable biological insurance for your child and their loved ones, reducing the risk of rejection.

And the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) found in umbilical cord tissue are used to repair tissues affected by disease or to repair organs. They also have a very important capacity in the field of regenerative medicine.

Stockpiling is a valuable form of medical insurance, and both medicine and research continue to evolve on a regular basis, with very promising progress.

The stem cells are carefully stored on our premises at the BioArk in Monthey throughout the life of your contract. In this way, your child’s stem cells can form a biological reserve that can provide important support for his or her recovery, should the need arise.

Since 2012, the CordSavings cryolaboratory has been located in the Swiss biotechnology complex dedicated to life sciences, BioArk (an offshoot of The Ark Foundation in the canton of Valais). Ideally located, 2 steps from a motorway entrance and exit, our premises are modern and functional for a feeling of comfort.

We offer ;
