Definition
A manual breast pump is a handheld device used to extract milk from the breast without the need for electricity. It typically consists of a set of plastic or silicone parts, including a breast shield, a pumping mechanism, and a collection container. The user manually operates the pump by squeezing or pressing a handle to create suction, which draws milk from the breast into the collection container. Manual breast pumps are portable, quiet, and do not require batteries or a power source, making them convenient for on-the-go use or in situations where electricity is unavailable.
