Products
There are 2 grades of allograft products. Vitacell and Vitacell PRO. They are processed the same with the only difference being concentration levels. These products are donated from consenting mothers. During the processing, red blood cells are removed, and Wharton’s Jelly tissue is disassociated from the umbilical cord and cut into small particulates of appropriate size to flow through a syringe. The disassociated tissue is then suspended in saline and placed into vials to be cryopreserved.
