A method for sterilely recovering amniotic fluid is provided. The amniotic fluid is used for regenerative medicine purposes. The method utilizes a suction device that does not harm the infant.

Provided herein is a pre-Caesarean method for collecting amniotic fluid from a patient. A needle is inserted into the incision site for the future C-section, which may be under ultrasound guidance, through which the amniotic fluid is drawn under a low level suction and, optionally, gravity to a sterile collection container. The method encompasses filtering and/or irradiating the amniotic fluid to collect biomolecules of interest such as growth factors and/or stem cells. Also provided is the sterile amniotic fluid or filtrates thereof collected by the method described herein

A frozen therapeutic dose includes an amniotic material and is configured into a pack for easy administering of the dose to a treatment location. A frozen therapeutic dose may contain a concentration of live amniotic stem cells. A frozen therapeutic dose may be provided in a form, such as a multi-pack form, to enable a person to administer a dose to a treatment location without the need of traveling to a doctor's office or clinic. A frozen therapeutic dose package may be kept in a conventional freezer at 20 C. for example, for extended periods of time and a person may remove the package as needed for treatment. A frozen dose package or pack may contain a secondary material configured to mix with the frozen therapeutic dose. A secondary material may be configured within a single dose compartment with the frozen dose or within a separate compartment.
