Adapter for use with apparatus and method for controlling human lactation

摘要

This invention is an adapter (30) for use with an apparatus for the control of human lactation. The apparatus (32) comprises a support (2) having an outer surface and an inner surface that is shaped to conform substantially to a human female breast and having a protrusion (42) which extends away from the support (34) and is positioned to align substantially with a nipple of a human female. The adapter (30) comprises an attachment having a second outer surface and a second inner surface. The second outer surface has a second protrusion extending away from the second outer surface and is shaped to fit over the first protrusion. The second inner surface is positioned to align substantially with and contact a nipple of the human female breast to prevent the human female breast from lactating when the apparatus with the adapter is placed over the human female breast.
