Freestyle Flex is designed to support the active mom's lifestyle. Improving upon the best attributes of the original, the new Freestyle Flex Breast Pump allows moms the freedom to pump on the go offering a rechargeable, smaller, connected hands-free breast pump. The redesigned Freestyle Flex weighs less than a pound, and offers cordless flexibility that means that mom no longer needed to be tethered to a pump to continue her breast milk feeding journey.
"We know that moms are on the move – whether they are coming home after giving birth, breast milk feeding a newborn while parenting a sibling, or returning to work – and the new Freestyle Flex ensures mobility without compromise," said Melissa Gonzales, executive vice president of the Americas for Medela LLC. "We are relentlessly committed to supporting every mom's breast milk feeding journey and innovating beyond the mechanics of pumping breast milk, considering how it fits into her day-to-day life."
Freestyle Flex is a small, portable closed-system breast pump that offers two hours of pumping time and more options for charging, allowing mom to pump without being connected to a power outlet. It offers Medela's research-based 2-Phase Expression® technology, known for helping moms pump more milk faster**. Other features include:
- Mobility: The palm-sized breast pump fits easily in a pocket or a purse
- Portability: Weighing less than a pound, it is Medela's lightest breast pump yet and can be used hands free with the Easy Expression Bustier® (sold separately)
- Chargeability: Mom can charge the battery wherever she is using USB cord
- Efficiency: Equipped with PersonalFit Flex™ Breast Shields proven to remove 11.8 percent more milk per minute compared to traditional 90° breast shields along with a closed system using Overflow Protection to prevent breast milk from entering tubing and motor
- Seamlessness: Can be paired with MyMedela® to track nursing sessions and activity
