Mölnlycke Z-Flo Fluidized Positioner

How Z-Flo™ Fluidized Positioners works

Z-Flo Fluidized Positioners are used to mitigate pressure injury risk factors while maintaining neutral body alignment.  These patented and versatile positioners are not predisposed to an existing shape.  Therefore, each distinctive patient, their anatomy, medical devices and preexisting conditions can be addressed and accounted for.  Z-Flo Fluidized Positioners provide measurable patient and economic rewards across the patient care journey.

Z-Flo Fluidized Positioners offer significant advantages over traditional offloading/positioning methods such as pillows and foam wedges. Z-Flo Fluidized Positioners:

• Offer continuous protection
• Are easy to mold
• Conform to virtually any shape
• Maintain their shape once molded
• Adapt to multiple anatomical sites, including occiput, sacrum and extremities
• Are effective for 90 days after first use

What differentiates Z-Flo Fluidized Positioners from other offloading and positioning approaches?

The fluidized positioners’ unique material is easily molded but can hold a position once shaped until it is molded again. These qualities of Zero Flow and Zero Memory combine to create Fluidized Conformational Positioning, which is therapeutic for patients.
