摘要： A fastener includes a first end, an elongate body, and a second end. The first end includes a cylinder having an entry aperture at a terminus, a wall, and an inner lumen aligned with a longitudinal axis of the cylinder. The lumen terminates at the entry aperture. The elongate body is aligned coaxially with the longitudinal axis and contiguous with the cylinder. The second end includes an insertion body aligned coaxially with the elongate body and contiguous with the elongate body. The entry aperture and the lumen are configured to receive the second end. The second end is aligned to penetrate the entry aperture and thereafter enter the lumen.

摘要： A lactation system is disclosed. Embodiments include at least one extraction mechanism including a compression mechanism and a collection mechanism, and a controller. The compression mechanism can include a plurality of manipulable members, each operably coupled to an actuator and arrangeable circumferentially about a breast of a user such that each member can be actuated to selectively apply pressure to a region of the breast. The collection mechanism can be removably coupleable to the compression mechanism and can comprise a storage compartment to receive and store milk The controller can be operably coupleable to the actuators to cause the members to move according to a movement pattern which can be configured to stimulate the breast to induce the flow of milk from the breast and modulated based on sensor feedback. A wearable garment with an inner structure can be removably coupled to the extraction mechanism. An outer cover can be arrangeable to conceal the extraction mechanism.
