The Swing Maxi™ breast pump allows the user to express 18% more breast milk than a single pump and uses Medela’s 2-Phase expression technology, simulating natural baby sucking behaviour at the mother’s breast. It has a built-in rechargeable battery so you can express anywhere – up to 1.5 hour of pumping on a full battery. Medela’s unique flex breast shields mould perfectly to your shape for optimum comfort whilst pumping and gives you more milk per session.

Hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the most common and deadliest forms of PH. Fibroblast growth factor receptors 1 and 2 (FGFR1/2) are elevated in patients with PH and in mice exposed to chronic hypoxia. Endothelial FGFR1/2 signaling is important for the adaptive response to several injury types and we hypothesized that endothelial FGFR1/2 signaling would protect against hypoxia-induced PH. Mice lacking endothelial FGFR1/2, mice with activated endothelial FGFR signaling, and human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAECs) were challenged with hypoxia. We assessed the effect of FGFR activation and inhibition on right ventricular pressure, vascular remodeling, and endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), a known pathologic change seen in patients with PH. Hypoxia-exposed mice lacking endothelial FGFRs developed increased PH, while mice overexpressing a constitutively active FGFR in endothelial cells did not develop PH. Mechanistically, lack of endothelial FGFRs or inhibition of FGFRs in HPAECs led to increased TGF-β signaling and increased EndMT in response to hypoxia. These phenotypes were reversed in mice with activated endothelial FGFR signaling, suggesting that FGFR signaling inhibits TGF-β pathway–mediated EndMT during chronic hypoxia. Consistent with these observations, lung tissue from patients with PH showed activation of FGFR and TGF-β signaling. Collectively, these data suggest that activation of endothelial FGFR signaling could be therapeutic for hypoxia-induced PH.

The Swing Maxi™ double electric breast pump only has a few set components that need to be washed. This includes the breast shields, connectors, membranes and bottles. Wash the disassembled parts in plenty of soapy water and rinse carefully, or clean in the dishwasher. You don’t need to clean the motor unit or wash the tubing: as part of a closed system, as it has no contact with milk, only with air. You can clean the external surface of the motor unit or tubing with a damp cloth if they become dirty.

Our Freestyle Hands-Free Breast Pump is our premium hands-free solution, featuring Medela’s Hands-Free Collection Cups. The Freestyle Hands-Free handset features a multifunctional display and a battery lasting for 2 hours, enough to cover 8 breastfeeding sessions without the need to recharge. Freestyle Hands-Free also features connectivity to our Medela Family™ App.

Yes, the closed system in Swing Maxi™ breast pump prevents milk from overflowing and leaking into the pump mechanism. This helps ensure that your expressed milk stays safe and clean, but also that your pump’s components are protected from potential damage.

Expressing times may vary from woman to woman and between pump sessions. On average it takes around 15 minutes to express milk from each breast, so being a double electric breast pump the Swing Maxi allows you to express both breasts simultaneously helping you to save time.

Sterilising the Swing Maxi™ is simple and easy. Simply submerse the pump set parts in boiling water on the stovetop for five minutes or use the Medela Microwaveable Quick Clean Bags for sterilisation.
