What is 2-Phase technology?

Breast milk is best for baby, and baby's natural suckling rhythm is best for mother.

In intensive pioneering work, Medela has converted baby's intuitive, natural knowledge into technical know-how. The result is the first 2-Phase Expression pumping feature for breast pumps - the new standard for unsurpassed naturalness, comfort and efficiency.

'2-Phase' is an advanced pumping pattern that mimics babies' natural nursing rhythms by pumping in two distinct modes; During the 1st 'Stimulation' mode, the pump simulates babies' initial rapid suckling to initiate faster milk flow. The 'Expression' mode follows, which simulates babies' slower suckling. Together, the two modes offer an authentic breastfeeding experience with greater comfort, faster let-down, increased milk flow and reduced pumping time.

Medela 2-phase expression is:

• Proven to feel more like baby
• Proven to allow the expression of more milk in less time
• Proven to achieve faster and better milk flow

The Medela Harmony manual breast pump is the least expensive breast pump to offer the special 2-Phase expression system.   This is controlled via the special elongated control handle which allows the user to select rapid or longer, deeper suction strokes.

The Medela Pump In Style advance is a top of the range double breast pump featuring Medela's special 2-phase technology. Complete with quality accessories such as the Cooler carry bag, back pack, AC adaptor and battery pack which can be used with regular and re-chargeable batteries.
