PersonalFit™ PLUS double pump set for Symphony^®

Bringing innovative features to breast pump rentals

If mothers need to rent a Symphony^® hospital-grade breast pump, the PersonalFit™ PLUS rental pump set allows them to enjoy the benefits of Medela’s innovative PersonalFit™ PLUS range at home. This is because it has the same groundbreaking design as PersonalFit™ PLUS pump sets used in hospitals, all based on Medela’s unique research and expertise.⁴

For example, the breast shield’s oval shape and 105° opening angle improve its fit to support gentle pumping.⁴ 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 reusable rental pump set for Symphony^® as it consists of just a few parts, that are larger and easier to handle than those of standard pump sets.¹

In addition, all PersonalFit™ PLUS pump sets have integrated overflow protection (also referred to as a closed system) so mothers do not need to worry about milk entering the tubing or motor during use. This allows for more comfortable sitting positions while expressing.
