Bringing innovative features to breast pump rentals 

If mothers need to rent a Symphony® hospital-grade breast pump, the PersonalFit™ PLUS home use pump set allows them to enjoy the benefits of Medela’s innovative PersonalFit™ PLUS range at home, all based on Medela’s unique research and expertise⁴. 

For example, the breast shield’s oval shape and 105° opening angle improve its fit to support gentle pumping⁴. On the subject of fit, it is important that mothers measure their nipple diameter before starting their breast pump rental. This is because the PersonalFit™ PLUS comes in a range of tunnel sizes to help optimise nipple fit. Our breast shield sizing guide for mothers explains how to do this. 

It is easy to show mothers how to use the PersonalFit™ PLUS home use pump set for Symphony® as it consists of just a few parts, that are larger and easier to handle than those of standard pump sets¹. 

PersonalFit™ PLUS breast pump sets: Tested and proven 

When the PersonalFit™ PLUS was tested against the standard pump set in clinical trials, the results showed the following advantages. 

More milk: The PersonalFit™ PLUS pump set obtained 11% more milk after 15 minutes of pumping², while breast drainage improved by 4%² – significant, as a key principle of maintaining milk production is to drain the breast well⁵. 

More comfort: Mothers who used the PersonalFit™ PLUS breast pump set described pumping as feeling more gentle and natural. In addition, 100% of the mothers who tested the PersonalFit™ PLUS breast shield positively evaluated its fit³. 

More efficiency: Healthcare professionals recorded significant improvements in the cleaning and overall usability and handling of PersonalFit™ PLUS in a hospital setting¹. This also applies to use in the home environment, as the PersonalFit™ PLUS home use pump sets for Symphony® works in the same way. 

Continuity of care for breast pump rental customers 

Choosing a Medela Symphony® rental breast pump allows mothers to continue building and maintaining their breast milk supply in the comfort of their own homes^6-8, with the same double electric breast pump that they used in hospital.
