- Abstract
A randomized clinical that was carried out to evaluate the safety and helpfulness of the LactaPrev System (LPS) compared with disposable pads for milk leakage management for postpartum, nonlactating women (those who do not breastfeed). Fifty-five women completed the single-blind, randomized trial. Participants wore each device on each breast concurrently. Assignment of the LPS or pad to each breast was done randomly. Fifty-eight percent of participants preferred the LPS. The longer the participation in the study, which correlated with the duration of milk leakage, the greater the preference (p = 0.05). Preference was related. to bra size (p=0.05). The smaller the bra size, the greater the preference for the LPS. There was no greater incidence of complications from the LPS compared with the disposable breast pad.
