Elvie Membranes Pump is a replacement product designed for an Elvie Pump electric breast pump. Although it is actually a very small thing, it is responsible for making breast milk easily obtainable. The reason for this is because it is what isolates the inside of the device from the environment. This way, the pressure will only be on the breast making the milk come out on its own.
The silicone from which it is made is very flexible and resistant, so it can be used for a long time before it wears out. It can also be washed in the dishwasher without any problem. It is a food grade material, so it does not release chemicals that are harmful to the baby. This means that it can be cleaned with hot water to remove any dirt that sticks to it.
Other features and benefits of this membrane include the following:
- It has exactly the same measurements as the default membrane that comes with the original device. This is very important because with any defect, even the smallest, the milk will not come out correctly.
- Although it has some roughness, this is only to facilitate the operation of the breast pump. These roughnesses are very easy to clean and do not have porosities that favour the entry of microorganisms.
- It is flexible so that it does not tear by mistake if too much force is used when washing it. This is also so that the air flow can be controlled more easily and it makes a complete or airtight seal.
- Another benefit derived from the above is that it prevents the milk from going anywhere other than into the container.
