Molnlycke Neonatal Z-Flo Fluidized Positioner with Cover Medium (41x61cm)

Product Description:

Patient positioning and repositioning is recommended as part of a successful pressure ulcer prevention protocol. Mölnlycke Z-Flo Fluidized Positioners are moldable to conform to and support the patient’s body in a desired position until time to reposition again.

Z-Flo Fluidized Positioners facilitate the redistribution of pressure over a greater surface area. The fluidized Z-Flo positioners offer 'mold and hold' support, conformed to patient anatomy, without flattening or returning to their former shape. Z-Flo is designed to offer continuous protection by holding the patient in the desired protective position over a period of time. When used as a part of an overall turning protocol, Z-Flo, once molded, will hold its shape until remolded. Z-Flo is designed to be molded away from or around vulnerable areas, such as ears or existing wounds, as well as medical devices, and is available in a range of sizes to accommodate multiple anatomical sites and clinical scenarios.

Conforms to and supports the patient’s body into desired position until next reposition
Enables various degrees of turn when positioning a patient
Redistributes pressure over a greater surface area
Won’t flatten or heat up like rolled towels and blankets
Molds and holds – molds to individual patient and anatomic shapes and holds until repositioned

One study with healthy volunteers found that Z-Flo reduced the exposure of occipital tissues to peak stresses by up to 65% when compared to medical foam
One study showed a statistically significant reduction in occipital PU’s by 87.7% during one year when compared to the use of pillows for intensive care patients
