Claim:
A placental blood extractor for collection of placental and umbilical cord blood, said blood extractor comprising of: a. a round plastic firm outside box for placing placentas composed of an upper part and a lower part designed to be closed when the placenta is placed in it, b. a plurality of soft plastic compression chambers attached at the upper part of the box and concentrically lining said box, c. pumps attached to each plurality of compression chambers, d. monometers for determining the pressure to be applied through soft plastic compression chambers connected to the pumps and compression chambers through plastic tubing, d. several different type of rotating plates for mechanically facilitating the flow of blood from periphery of placentas extracting the blood from the collecting veins on the fetal side of the placenta and “pushing” it toward the centrally positioned umbilical cord veins, e. sterile bag for holding a placenta, said bag having an upper part for placing the placenta in the bag to be closed before extraction of the blood begins and said bag for the placenta being mounted within said firm plastic box which has a central hole on its lower side on the center of the disc for mechanically removing the blood and directing the blood from the collecting veins on the fetal side of the placenta to the umbilical cord vein and the bag having a central leader for umbilical cord on its lower side; the firm plastic outside box for placing placentas is then closed after the leader containing the umbilical cord is lead through the hole in the box containing the plates under “d”, and then said bag with placenta placed between the compression chambers above and one of the selected discs which will mechanically move the blood from the collecting veins toward the central umbilical cord vein. f. When a single rotating disc is used, instead of sterile bags for placement of the placentas, the placentas will be covered with sterile plastic sheets with protrusions to hold the placenta in place while the plate is rotating and another sterile plastic sheet between the placenta and such lower disc or rings is being used.
