Z-Flo Fluidized Positioner Neonatal and Pediatric

Mölnlycke

Description

A fluidised positioner that moulds to individual patient shapes to redistribute pressure and offload bony prominences such as the occiput. It maintains its shape once moulded (zero-flow) and adapts to new shapes without memory, enlarging contact area to reduce pressure, relieve sensitive areas or wounds, and support correct patient positioning.

Indications

Need for positioning

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to components exposure to temperatures >40°C; do not autoclave or microwave; replace promptly if punctured or damaged; if punctured, the positioner should be placed in a sealed plastic bag to avoid spillage of the content, which may increase risk of slips and falls; closely monitor patient in prone position to secure airway clearance.
