| Medela ® Pump in Style™ vs
Ameda ® Purely
Yours™ Breastpumps
"What are the differences between the Medela ®f Pump
In Style™ Line of breast pumps and the
Ameda ® Purely
Yours™ line of automatic breast pumps?"
Both are double breast pumps that let you express milk from
both breasts at the same time. Both lines mimic the baby's natural
sucking action. Both lines are simple to use. Either can be run by
AC or by battery. And they're both "professional-grade" automatic
breastpumps. However, there are important
differences between Ameda
and Medela, outlined below:
-
Cleaner - Ameda is the
only breast pump manufacturer that has received clearance from
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to claim that their patented
pumping system keeps collected breast milk protected from potential
contaminants (viruses, bacteria) that may be present in the pump
and/or kit tubing. In addition, the Ameda pumping system keeps
contaminants in the environment - even
cigarette smoke - from coming into contact with the expressed breast
milk.
- Weighs Less - The Medela ® Pump
In Style™ weighs over seven pounds. By
contrast, the Ameda ® Purely Yours™ speed
and suction control for is controlled by a computer chip - so
the motor weighs less than one pound.
- Simpler Clean Up - The patented
Ameda pumping system keeps out contaminants. Because of the Ameda
design, no breastmilk ever backflows up the plastic suction tube.
That means the plastic suction tube (a difficult
piece of equipment to sterilize and dry) does not require any
cleaning whatsoever. Cleaning the Medela ® Pump
In Style™ breastpumps, however means having
the user boil all parts that come in contact with the breast or
breastmilk before each use, including the plastic tubing.
- Better Value - The Medela ® Original™ Pump
In Style™ sells for $249.50. The Ameda
Purely Yours with Tote® is just $199.95. The Medela ® Pump
In Style™ Advanced™ is $299.95 , with the microfiber
backpack the ® Pump In Style™ Advanced™ is $299.95,
while the Ameda
Purely Yours Backpack® is just $229.95.
