Highly efficient breastpump and system for expressing breastmilk
ActiveUS20110071466A1Remove airLess energyNon-adhesive dressingsMilking pumpDiaphragm pumpEngineering
The present invention provides a breastshield for use in a breastpumping system for expressing milk, the breastshield being of such a construction that substantially limits the amount of air between the breast / nipple and the breastshield surrounding the breast / nipple, and most preferably virtually eliminates any air at least in the area of the breast and nipple. In some embodiments, any air in the breastpumping system is substantially eliminated. With the amount of air limited, the mechanism used for generating the pressure difference in the breastshield (e.g., vacuum or negative pressure), such as a diaphragm pump, does not need to do as much work. Less energy is required for the expression of milk, and thus the size of pump used can be decreased, thereby reducing the overall cost of the device.

Hands-free breast pump system
A hands-free breast pump system is disclosed. A breast shield having an adhesive inner surface for adhering to a woman's breast is disclosed. The breast shield may be connected to an adapter for transferring a vacuum generated by a pump to the breast. The adapter also allows milk expressed from the breast to drain from the adapter to a container. In the alternative, the breast shield may form part of a breast shield adapter system which is connected to a conventional breast shield by a drain line so that a conventional breast pump system is used to supply a vacuum and to collect the milk.

Nipple configuration for use in feeding and nursing newborn infants
A nipple configuration for use on baby bottles and in breast shields particularly adapted for feeding and nursing newborns. The configuration includes body and nipple portions integrally formed of a soft flexible material and defining raised ridges or other surface irregularities thereon so as to provide the feel of a mother's breast and nipple. The nipple projects outwardly from the body portion and defines a fluid passageway extending axially therethrough and a plurality of discharge openings in the extended end thereof. A flexible reinforcing tube extends through the passageway communicating the fluid openings with the interior of the body portion and preventing the nipple from collapsing upon being sucked by a newborn. The device can also be used on a pacifier for developing the sucking reflex and, in a modified form, for feeding and nursing newborns having a cleft-lip or palate.

Device and method for expressing human breast milk
ActiveUS20120277728A1Less conspicuous to onlookersReduce pump powerNon-adhesive dressingsMilking pumpMammary lineLine tubing
A device for expressing human breast milk has a breast shield for bearing against a mother's breast, a vacuum pump for generating a vacuum, a line which connects the vacuum pump to the breast shield and is intended for transmitting the vacuum generated to the breast shield, and a chamber. The line ends on the pump side in a first port of the chamber. The chamber has a second port for connection to a milk collecting container. The two ports in the chamber are connected to each other in terms of fluid communication. During the expressing operation, the line forms a milk line for transporting breast milk expressed in the breast shield to the chamber and from the chamber to the milk collecting container. The pump can be designed to be quiet and small.

Device and method for delivering an agent into breast milk while breastfeeding
ActiveUS8357117B2Affects flow rateDisease is preventedMilking pumpMedical devicesMedicineActive agent
A device for delivering an agent into breast milk while breastfeeding. In one embodiment, the device includes a breast shield modified to engage a non-woven material which has been impregnated with a milk soluble active agent such as sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). A lactating animal, e.g. a woman, uses this agent-delivering breast shield during breastfeeding to administer prophylactic or therapeutic agents to a suckling infant. The inventions are particularly well suited to preventing transmission of HIV virus from mother to child. Alternatively, the agent-laden material could be used with a baby bottle nipple or pacifier.

Bra pads and production method thereof
InactiveCN101912163AAvoid pollutionPromote absorptionBreast bandagesBrassieresIsolation layerMethods of production
The invention discloses a pair of bra pads. Each bra pad comprises an isolation layer, an absorption layer and a permeable layer from bottom to top in sequence and also comprises an anti-leakage layer arranged on the upper surface on one end of the permeable layer, on the upper surfaces on both corresponding ends or on the peripheral upper surface, wherein the outer edge of the isolation layer, the outer edge of the permeable layer and the outer edge of the anti-leakage layer are bonded together by hot pressing to form a bonding edge; the binding edge has no absorption layer, and a storage space is formed on the upper surface of the anti-leakage layer and the upper surface of the permeable layer. Because the storage space is formed on the upper surface of the anti-leakage layer and the upper surface of the permeable layer, when overflown milk flows downwards under the action of gravity, the milk can directly enter the storage space along the permeable layer and is quickly absorbed by the absorption layer, and the phenomenon of milk leakage is avoided.
