No. MiracleCord does not use Heparin in any of our collection materials. MiracleCord only uses the anticoagulant Citrate Phosphate Dextrose (CDP) in our collection bags. Serious injuries and deaths have been associated with the use of Heparin.1 The use of Heparin could also lead to the formation of blood clots, which could render your baby’s cord blood unsuitable for processing. 1 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
