  • METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR EXPRESSION AND QUANTIFICATION OF HUMAN BREAST MILK
    Publication number: 20170173235
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods for the expression and collection of breast milk. A device in accordance with embodiments comprises an actuatable assembly and a breast interface configured to engage a breast and fluidly seal thereagainst. The breast interface comprises a movable member disposed within at least a portion of the breast interface. The device further comprises a tensile element operatively coupling the actuatable assembly to the movable member. Actuation of the actuatable assembly applies a tensile force to the tensile element, and the tensile element transmits the tensile force to the movable member to move the movable member away from the breast, thereby applying negative pressure to the breast to express milk therefrom.

  • Method, apparatus, and system for expression and quantification of human breast milk
    Patent number: 9616156
    Abstract: A device for expression and collection of breast milk includes an actuatable assembly, a breast interface, and a tube. The breast interface is sized to receive a breast and form a fluid tight seal against the breast. The breast interface includes a deformable member disposed within at least a portion of the breast interface. The deformable member deforms in response to actuation of the actuatable assembly and applies vacuum pressure against the breast to express milk. The tube operatively couples the actuatable assembly to the breast interface.
