From the Manufacturer --------------------- About Medela ------------ In almost 40 years, Medela has developed from a one man distribution company to a global producer of the most technologically advanced pumps and feeding accessories – which have been used by millions of mothers and their babies worldwide. Throughout its history, Medela has been pushing the boundaries to create safe, efficient and best-selling products: Medela introduced the world’s first quality manual pump in 1983, and the world’s first phototherapy system for the of neonatal jaundice which was small enough to be placed in a baby’s cot, in 1994. More recently, Medela introduced the 2-Phase Expression Technology, the world’s only research-based pump technology that mimics a baby’s natural sucking rhythm, resulting in getting mothers more milk in less time. A key aspect of Medela’s past and present success is a relentless focus on research-based medical technology – which will insure, on an on-going base, innovations in the fields of feeding, phototherapy and "care". feeding Benefits feeding provides close physical contact for an ideal relationship between mother and child.
