Description

Medicare Symphony breastpumps can be used for single or double pumping with these accessory kits. Double pumping reduces pumping time and promotes an increase in milk production and is widely recommended for all users. Double pumping can help increase prolactin, the milk-producing hormone.

  • Hospital-grade electric pump
  • Single or double pumping
  • With 2-Phase Expression Technology
  • Overflow protection

What is 2-Phase Expression Technology?

2-PhaseExpression Technology simulates a baby’s natural nursing rhythm more precisely than any other system. It is known that babies change the way they suckle at a mother’s breast during breastfeeding. Initially, they suckle rapidly to stimulate the Milk Ejection Reflex (MER) and induce “let-down”. Once the milk starts flowing, the speed of the baby’s sucking decreases for the actual feeding phase.

This is the only research based breastpump technology to mimic a baby’s natural nursing rhythm. The unique combination of a rapid stimulation and slower expression makes pumping especially gentle, comfortable and efficient.

Single pump kit for the Symphony breastpump (€22.00): This kit consists of a bottle, valve, breastshield, protective cap & membrane and tubing which connect on to the pump. These items (excluding tubing and protective cap & membrane) can be sterilised, boiled and are dishwasher safe.

Double pump kit for the Symphony breastpump (€40): The double kit allows milk to be expressed from both breasts at the same time. This kit contains two of each of the items mentioned in the single pump kit description.

Rental Items – Payment:

A minimum hire charge (equivalent to one month’s rental charge) is applicable. At the end of the initial hire period the hirer must return the pump. Otherwise, hire charges will be processed automatically, at the start of each month in arrears (payment details must be provided prior to the expiry of the initial rental period). A daily rate is applied after the first month until the pump is returned. Payments will cease once the pump is returned.
