Abstract
A breast cup includes a housing including an outlet configured to be fluidly coupled to an external reservoir. The breast cup further includes a breast shield configured to be attached to a human breast. The breast cup further includes a diaphragm disposed between the housing and the breast shield, wherein the diaphragm is disposed between a pressure chamber and a milk chamber. The breast cup further includes a pressure source in fluidic communication with the pressure chamber, the pressure source configured to apply pressure to the pressure chamber to induce lactation from the human breast and pull milk from the human breast into the milk chamber. The outlet, when fluidly coupled to the external reservoir, allows the milk to flow from the milk chamber to the external reservoir.
