Hygeia was a very old company, the only products on the market from them now seem to be "vintage" feeding bottles with red-brown rubber nipples, on the secondhand market. However there is a company Hygeia II which can be found here. http://hygeiababy.com/ "Welcome to our new company website and to a fresh and exciting new way to engage in the life-affirming process of Breastfeeding..." with a breast pump patent here http://www.freepatentsonline.com/WO2009006627.html The domain name was only registed on the 11 December last year, by Richard Weston (Carlsbad California), who is also listed on the patent alongside Cheng Keyong. The Carlsbad, California address provided for the domain name registration seems to be shared (or to have been shared) by an infant incubation company and a hairdressing salon training company. Cheng Keyong is a Chinese civil engineer. Note this ad: <http://www.aaaoe.com/sell/237/baby_feeding_236591/Sell_Breast_Pump.php> Cheng Keyong is tied up with a Chinese company Huilun Babythings Co.,Ltd., making bottle warmers, sterilisers, formula mixers, etc. as well as breast pumps. <http://www.ecvv.com/supplier/C-700258-China-Huilun-Babythings-Co-Ltd.ht ml> <http://shishi2008.en.china.cn/> Branding includes "Snow Bear". Examples: <http://www.moresales.com.my/catalog/entry/tkyspsjm.shtml> <http://detail.en.china.cn/provide/detail,1075252520.html> <http://shishi2008.en.china.cn/selling-leads/detail,1075252520,Manual-Br east-Pump.html> <http://shishi2008.en.china.cn/selling-leads/detail,1075244520,Electric- breast-pump.html> <http://shishi2008.en.china.cn/selling-leads/detail,1075245060,Manual-br east-pump.html> The only reviews I can find online of Snowbear products are absolutely abysmal.
