Clinical validation is our north star
At Lactamo, science is our foundation and purpose. From the very beginning, working with healthcare professionals has been at the heart of our work, playing a key role in developing Lactamo to ensure it aligns with clinical best practice. Clinical validation isn’t just part of what we do: it’s our reason for being.
Lactamo has undergone independent clinical trials and hospital pilots, delivering outstanding results that speak to its real-world impact, and we're proud to support mums with this evidence based solution.
Together with healthcare professionals we’re driving positive change in how breastfeeding is supported and understood. Join us in our mission to give women the best success and the best experience (if they choose to breastfeed).
Lactamo is here to help with breastfeeding. Specifically made for the needs of lactating breasts, Lactamo has been developed by a team of leading lactation consultants, healthcare professionals and medtech innovation experts.
“Lactamo is a valuable aid for breastfeeding women” - Independent clinical trial conclusion, International Breastfeeding Journal 2022
Extensive studies recommend breast massage (movement and compression) in lactation, together with temperature, for the resolution of many common breastfeeding issues. Lactamo is the first and only aid to cohesively address the common breastfeeding issues by using a patented combination of the three critical components - temperature, movement and compression. These three components have numerous benefits, including facilitating lymphatic drainage, milk flow, the let-down reflex and improving blood circulation. Breast massage in lactation also has the ability to proactively increase the total solids, lipids, casein concentration and gross energy of breastmilk. *(Foda et al. 2004).
The breast contains different tissue, layers of fat and glandular tissue to support lactation. Understanding the unique mechanical properties of breast tissue is essential for aiding optimal lactation. Lactamo is specifically designed to ensure that the hardness and compressibility is suitable for the mechanical properties and elasticity of breast tissue, ranging from 0.5 kPa (lower level for adipose) to 3,000kPa (upper level for skin). The outer hardness of Lactamo is incredibly soft, almost ‘jelly like’.
Temperature, movement and compression help with:
An HCP perspective
Evidence based and aligned with the latest research
Using breast massage for postpartum’s common problems
Postpartum’s critical first week
What people are saying
A game-changer in breastfeeding
I see patients every day who would benefit from Lactamo
I’ve treated mothers for the past 30 years (with a focus on lactation in particular in the last 20 years). I know the steps and Lactamo provides an easy solution. Lactamo resolves everything beautifully.
The results in our hospital network were unprecedented. Every woman should have a Lactamo from day 1.
