Abstract
An expression assembly for breast pump comprises a diaphragm, a cover over the diaphragm to define a sealed space between them, and a breast shield to which the cover and diaphragm are coupled. The diaphragm defines a cavity having an open end for receiving a nipple of a user and a closed end. The open end is angled back at the top to cover more of the top of the breast. This enables the diaphragm to provide better stimulation of the breast as well reducing leakage.
