SINGLE-USE BREASTMILK COLLECTION DEVICE AND RELATED SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

In an embodiment, a breastmilk-extraction-assembly kit includes a flange, a hub, and a check valve. The flange is configured to collapse for packaging, to expand in response to being unpackaged, and to form a seal with a human breast while expanded. The hub has an output port and is configured for coupling to the flange. And the check valve is configured to allow breastmilk to flow out of the hub through the output port during a low-suction portion of a pump cycle, and to impede breastmilk from flowing out of the hub through the output port during a high-suction portion of the pump cycle. Furthermore, the breastmilk-extraction-assembly kit can be disposed in a sealed and size-(e.g., volume-and-dimension)-efficient package for transport, sale, and storage.
