Lactation device

Abstract

An interface device insertable into a shield or suction cone of a breast pump provides an alternate engagement angle to the mother for milk extraction that aligns with a natural angle for improved comfort and efficiency in liquid extraction by distributing pressure around the engaging surface. A variable taper in a thickness of the insert material varies the angle of the suction cone to adapt to that of the mother/user. A frustoconical body of the insert shaped to a plateau of reduced or flattened angle around an orifice for liquid extraction, and an inner circumference of the orifice is rounded and/or tapered to align with skin contour. A flexible construction of a deformable material allows sealable engagement between the suction cone and breast surface and an adaptability to form of the mother.
