BREAST PUMP

A breast pump is a device used by nursing mothers to express breast milk. It consists of several key components that work together to facilitate efficient and comfortable pumping. Here are the main parts of a breast pump:

1. Breast Pump Unit: The main component that creates the suction needed to extract milk.
2. Breast Shields (Flanges): Cone-shaped pieces that fit over the breasts and create a seal to help draw out milk.
3. Valves and Membranes: These parts control the flow of milk and prevent backflow.
4. Tubing: Connects the breast shields to the pump unit and allows the milk to flow into the collection bottles.
5. Milk Collection Bottles: Containers that collect and store the expressed milk.
6. Connectors: Attach the breast shields to the tubing and pump unit.
