Medela is a company with history. Started in Switzerland back in 1961, the Larsson family continues to support and grow the company today. They have been doing business in the United States for over 30 years. Specializing in breastfeeding, their primary goal is to help mothers to successfully breastfeed their babies as long as they wish. So committed are they to this goal that their founder, Olle Larsson, said: "We pledge our dedication to breastfeeding as the best nutrition for babies and families. We further pledge that our breastfeeding accessory products and literature shall never be used to influence mothers to switch from breastfeeding to infant formula feeding. Nor shall our breastfeeding accessory products and literature be used in any way to promote artificial baby milk."
Medela was the first manufacturer in the United States to develop the Corporate Lactation Program to support the needs of mothers who work outside the home. In addition to assuring the availability of a pleasant, private location; they also provide breastfeeding counseling for employees and their families. Many corporations are now more accommodating to nursing mothers thanks to this ground-breaking program.
Quality is a company mandate at Medela. Always striving to improve, they have a continuous process of research on technological advancements and safety. Their quality system holds the ISO 13485 Certification, which is a list of very precise requirements for quality systems and standards. They have also received numerous awards of excellence for their design and innovative technology. Medela assures their customers that any of their products that come into contact with breastmilk are made from glass and other BPA-free, DEHP-free materials.
Breastpumps are Medela's primary product focus. They offer many hospital-grade and personal-style pumps, both electric and manual. These include:
Pump In Style Advanced, one of the most popular portable, double-electric personal breast pumps available on the market today
Medela Freestyle, their hands-free double-electric pump
Swing, a daily use single-electric pump
Symphony and Symphony Plus, their hospital-grade double-electric pump
Lactina Select, an additional hospital-grade pump
Single Deluxe, an occasional-use single-electric pump
Harmony, their occasional-use single manual pump
In addition, Medela also provides an extensive line of accessories to further promote the convenience and comfort of their breast pump products, including specialty feeding devices, breastmilk storage systems, breast care, and intimate apparel.
Truly a pioneer in the breastfeeding industry, Medela has recently introduced a new product, their Supplemental Nursing System (SNS). This not only enables adoptive mothers to breastfeed (and possibly induce their own lactation) but provides the breastfeeding experience to mothers and babies with other special problems.
