How is the Amniotic and Umbilical Cord Material Obtained?
The amniotic and umbilical cord material is obtained from consenting women after a scheduled C-section. No embryonic stem cells are used and no babies are harmed during the process. The material is acquired in a sterile, approved fashion and then processed at an FDA registered/certified facility.
Once processing is complete, the amniotic fluid and umbilical cord tissue is cryogenically frozen which preserves cell viability. It is kept frozen at -80 degrees Celsius until it is needed for a procedure. Shipping occurs on dry ice to keep the material frozen.
Per FDA classification as a biologic, the products fall into the minimal manipulation category. The material is rich with multiple extracellular matrix proteins, growth factors, cytokines, exosomes, stem cells and other specialty proteins.
Is the amniotic and umbilical cord material FDA approved?
The amniotic and umbilical cord materials are FDA regulated as a biologic, NOT as a drug which is a very different process. They are classified as biologics and regulated as such under the FDA CFR Part 1271. Drugs are FDA approved/denied, however, biologics are simply regulated very strictly.
The donor history is evaluated, then the material is checked for many diseases according to the FDA rules. To date there have been no adverse events reported by any of the R3 Centers with over ten thousand cases to date.

What are the risks of treatment?
Risks of treatment with the regenerative therapies are extremely low. However, there is a risk of an adverse reaction to any anesthesia used and possibly infection, nerve injury, bleeding, etc. The amniotic and umbilical cord material is immunologically privileged, so it rarely if ever causes a rejection reaction.
