Various techniques can be used to assist women giving birth. Medela offers a complete system that includes a suction pump with all the necessary components and a large choice of suction cups.
The active vacuum of the Suction Pump ensures firm attachment of the suction cup to the baby’s head and reduces the risk of cup pop-offs.
Thanks to the extensive range of rigid and soft suction cups (disposable or reusable) the right cup for each individual situation is always available.
Safe, individualized assistance.
Medela's Suction Pumps, Dominant Flex and Basic, offer fast and efficient vacuum build up, easy maintenance and precise vacuum settings.
The consistent active vacuum helps to keep the suction cup in place to reduce the risk of cup pop-offs. Medela offers an extensive range of disposable and reusable suction cups.
Medela suction pumps have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient use with all these types of suction cups3.
The membrane vacuum regulator of the Medela Suction Pump can be set to the precise level required and ensures that the vacuum is built up in seconds.
With its silent piston/cylinder technology the vacuum that has been set is maintained during the procedure.
The optional foot vacuum regulator is ideal to gently increase the vacuum to the level set on the Medela Suction Pump without needing to turn the vacuum regulator knob. Simply press down with the heel to release the vacuum immediately when the baby is born.
