The Efficacy of Milk Removal in Lactating Women with Vacuum Breast Pumps Medela Symphony and Breast Pump with Compression Component Laktopuls | Biomedgrid

Objective: To date, in the world has significantly increased the number women who use breast pump in the process of the breastfeeding. Many mothers preterm and term infants are partially or completely breast pump-dependent for weeks or months and mothers need a breast pump that is efficient and convenient. To ensure the continuity of lactation a woman should choose the apparatus in accordance with her mammary gland features. It is of fundamental interest to compare these features and the efficacy of breast milk expression by the two types of breast pumps vacuum pumps: The Medela Symphony and pumps with a compressive component: Lactopuls. Material and Methods: Thirty lactating women of 19–38 years of age who volunteered to be included in this study were examined. Women had been lactating and breastfeeding normally for 5–8 days. Breast pump with vacuum and compressive components Lactopuls and beast pump with vacuum component Medela Symphony were used to express breast milk. Results: It was found that the average values of the volume of milk expressed with the Lactopuls breast pump were 14% higher than the volume of milk expressed with the Medela Symphony breast pump. The Lactopuls breast pump empties the breasts more effectively than the Medela Symphony. Conclusions: The use of breast pump Laktopuls with a vacuum and compression component has shown their higher efficacy compared with vacuum pump Medela Symphony
