Why Flex™ technology is different

  • The first breast pump shield designed to adapt to your shape – rotates 360°, four tunnel sizes, flexible rim

  • Overflow protection (closed system) so you can pump sitting in a position that works for you

  • Developed following four clinical studies and shown to improve milk flow

When you’re expressing milk for your baby, you want the experience to be as easy as possible. Flex™ is a big step forward in breast-pumping technology. Developed with the help of a team of research scientists and breastfeeding mums, Flex™ technology breast pumps are the first pumps designed to adapt to fit your shape for more efficient, comfortable expression.

Flex™ technology – a whole new pumping experience

Flex™ technology – a whole new pumping experience

When you’re pumping breast milk for your baby – whether occasionally or every day – you want the experience to be as comfortable and efficient as possible.

The breast shield – the part of the breast pump set that fits over your nipple and breast as you express – plays a key role in both comfort and efficiency during milk removal.1 With this in mind, Medela has always strived to offer a range of breast shield tunnel sizes to suit various nipple diameters, yet the teams at Medela wondered if the breast shield could be optimised even further.

A breast shield has two main parts, a tunnel for the nipple to move back and forth in, and a wider, angled part that is placed over the breast, known as a flange. Ideally it should follow the shape of your breast and not compress it, as Dr Danielle Prime, Breastfeeding Research Associate at Medela’s Medical Research Department, explains: “The opening angle on a typical breast shield flange is 90°. Although this shape of flange works well, it doesn’t look like many breasts I’ve come across in my research career!
