A motorized medical suction pump has a pump assembly for generating an underpressure, a pump assembly carrier for supporting the pump assembly, and a seat for receiving an energy accumulator. The pump assembly arranged in the pump assembly carrier defines a first longitudinal axis, and the seat defines a second longitudinal axis. The pump assembly carrier forms the seat. The second longitudinal axis extends at an angle to the first longitudinal axis. This suction pump is small and compact and has good sound damping.

A breast shield for a breast pump for expressing human breast milk, comprising a funnel for applying to the human mother's breast and a connection part, wherein the funnel widens in the direction of the mother's breast and encloses at least one nipple and one areola surrounding the nipple of the mother's breast. The funnel comprises an end near to the breast, which forms a contact edge for contacting the mother's breast. The breast shield has a through-opening which extends from the end of the funnel near the breast up to the end of the connection part further from the breast, and which serves to apply a negative pressure to the mother's breast and to discharge expressed breast milk. The contact edge of the funnel is formed by a space curve that is not positioned in one plane, wherein the funnel has at least two planes of symmetry. The breast shield permits an application on the mother's breast that is optimally sealing and comfortable for the mother.
