Inner and outer shield parts of a breastshield are joined to form an
enclosure defining a pressurizable chamber. The inner shield part has at
least a portion thereof movable relative to the outer shield part when
the chamber is subject to a negative or a positive pressure. A first
pressure port is in communication respectively with the chamber for
connection with a fluid pressure source of a first pressure. A second
pressure port is in communication with the interior for connection with a
pressure source of a second pressure. The breastshield is thus capable of
being subjected to two different pressures, such as a positive pressure
to move (expand) the chamber into the interior. The invention takes the
form of a variety of different embodiments of breastshields and
breastpumps for breastmilk pumping having sundry novel attributes and
advantages.
