Dallas and Fort Worth Placenta

We’re kinda geeky when it comes to safety. If you are too, this is the page for you.

We believe in reliability and safety but we also believe you should always feel free to ask questions about what we do, why we do it and what safety precautions we use throughout our time with your placenta.


 

Encapsulation from Experts.

Placenta certification? Blood Borne Pathogen training? Texas state Food Handlers card?Check, check and…check. We’ve been in the DFW area 10+ years, served over 1000 clients and have positive relationships with health care providers. Our lead encapsulator, Maria Pokluda, also trains encapsulators around the country and has been a speaker at Placenta Con (yes, it’s a thing!). You can trust us to handle your placenta in a way that protects your (and our) health.

We only work with one placenta at a time.

We never work on more than one placenta at a time. If two clients give birth on the same day we complete the first placenta, fully disinfect and then begin the second placenta. This process guarantees that your placenta will never be mixed up or cross contaminated.

Legit refrigeration and transportation protocols.

The placenta as we receive it is like any raw meat. Proper refrigeration during storage and transportation are an essential part of our safety protocols. We use a medical courier to move your placenta to insure the safety during transport -we can even follow your placenta with GPS tracking while it is moving from you to us.

A bit about our cleaning protocols:

  • The entire preparation surface is cleaned before and after with a bleach solution followed by a clean water rinse to remove bleach residue.

  • We use disposable items wherever possible including cutting tools, cutting boards, steaming tray, cleaning sponges and so many paper towels.

  • All our reusable equipment is properly disinfected with bleach following OSHA and EPA guidelines.

  • To add an extra level of safety we use concentrated bleach which is 8.25% sodium hypochlorite instead of standard bleach which is 3-6% sodium hypochlorite.

  • Non-disposable equipment is replaced frequently.

  • Encapsulators wear full personal protective equipment.
