We partnered with the University of Western Australia to test Pump In Style® Pro against Symphony, the #1 breast pump used in hospitals.
The results?
That’s real hospital-grade performance—validated by science and loved by moms.
While other brands use terms like “hospital strength,” Medela is the only one backed by clinical evidence and trusted by hospitals nationwide.
If you’re a seasoned mom who relied on Symphony during your hospital stay, Pump In Style® Pro is your next best move to protect and maintain your milk supply. If you’re a new mom looking for comfort and confidence from day one, this is the pump for you.
Pump In Style® Pro is a smaller, single-user pump designed for use at home. It features our clinically proven pumping pattern from the Symphony® Maintain program, along with the same 16 vacuum levels and two modes (Stimulation and Expression). Symphony® is our hospital-grade, multi-user pump with Initiation technology, designed to stimulate your milk production right after birth. We also recommend using it if you or your baby have special medical needs.
We’ve listened to your feedback on our previous Pump In Style® model and identified key areas for improvement: 1) performance, 2) visual interface, and 3) transition from hospital to home. We’ve made improvements in all three areas:
