Milk Collection Shells
The Medela Milk Collection Shells collect leaking milk and are comfortable to
wear. The anatomical shape and the skin-friendly, flexible material mean that
they are pleasant and
discrete to wear.
Indication
– During breastfeeding, when the milk flow starts in the other breast
– When too much milk leaks
Avoid wearing at night to prevent tender spots.
Assembly and Use
Put the silicone membrane on the shell. Be sure it snaps on all the way
around. Place the assembled milk collection shell inside your bra with the
opening in the silicone membrane centered over your nipple. We recommend
wearing a nursing bra; nursing bras are roomier and the milk collection shell
applies less pressure on the breast. Make
sure that the spout is facing upwards. When removing the shell, lean forward
somewhat. The collected milk can then be poured into a different container.
Caution: Only milk collected during breastfeeding should be saved using a
sterile container. If the milk is not fed to the baby right away, immediately
place the container into the refrigerator and use it within 24 hours. To keep
moisture from damaging the nipples, we recommend removing the shells every 2–3
hours and letting the breast air dry.
Cleaning Instructions
Before first use and subsequently once daily
Place the separated parts in a small pot filled with cold water. Dis tilled
water is recommended – if tap water is used, a little citric acid may be added
to the water to avoid a build-up of limescale. Bring the water to a boil and
allow it to continue boiling for approximately 5 minutes. Drain off the water
and rinse the parts thoroughly. Place the parts on a clean cloth to dry.
After each use
Separate the parts. Shells and membranes should be washed with a mild cleaning
solution, rinsed thoroughly in cold water and dried on a clean cloth.
Note
Shells and membranes can be put in a dishwasher or autoclave.
Material
Shell: Polypropylene
Silicone membrane: Silicone
Disposal
According to local regulations.
We recommend the Medela Nipple Formers for treating flat or inverted
nipples.
Sore and cracked nipples can be protected from further irritation by using
the Medela Breast shells.
