Abstract: A cleaning device having a body containing a cleaning fluid, an application member in selective fluid communication with the body via a fluid path, and a first selectively permeably element provided along the fluid path, the first selectively permeable element being configured to selectively interact with one or more selected components of the cleaning fluid sufficient to remove the one or more selected components from the cleaning fluid as the cleaning fluid travels along the fluid path, and wherein selective interaction between the first selectively permeable element and the one or more selected components includes at least a physical interaction. Also disclosed in methods of making and using the cleaning devices described herein.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for efficient expression of breast milk is provided. The device comprises a horn having a funnel for receiving a breast and a tube extending downwards from the funnel and removably connected to a first end of a main body. The main body has a stem extending downwards from a second end. The horn portion of the device can vary in size depending on the user need to accommodate varying sizes. A flexible cylindrical diaphragm and a valve is provided and are configured to engage and create a sealing between the lower portion of the main body and a container for receiving the breast milk. The use of the cylindrical diaphragm creates minor stress points along the surface of the diaphragm, thereby making it difficult to tear or damage during repeated operation and cleaning.
