[Harvest techniques for cord blood after delivery of placenta].
We describe harvest techniques for cord blood after delivery of the placenta. The umbilical vein is punctured or catheterized, and then placental/cord blood is aspirated with syringes contained anticoagulants. Other method of collection, which has been undertaken in the Cord Blood Bank of the New York Blood Center, is to drain blood into a collection-bag by gravity. The collection bags with anticoagulants are manufactured by TERUMO and BAXTER HEALTHCARE CO.
