DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EXPRESSING HUMAN BREAST MILK

摘要

A device for expressing human breast milk has a breast cup (4) to be placed on a mother's breast, a vacuum pump (1) for generating a vacuum, a line connecting the vacuum pump (1) to the breast cup (4) for transferring the generated vacuum to the breast cup (4), and a chamber. The line (2) ends at a first connection (130) of said chamber on the pump side. According to the invention, the chamber has a second connection (131) for connecting to a milk-collecting container (7). The two connections (130, 131) are interconnected in the chamber in a fluid-communicating manner. The line (2) forms a milk line during expression for transporting the breast milk expressed in the breast cup (4) to the chamber and from the chamber to the milk-collecting container (7). Said pump can be designed to be small and have a low noise level.
