What our Experts Think  

• The Mölnlycke Z-Flex Neonatal Fluidized Positioner Kit (1400308) is a clinical-grade neonatal positioning system designed to support safe, stable, and developmentally appropriate infant care in NICU settings.
• Uses fluidized bead technology (“Floam”) that conforms precisely to the infant’s body and holds its shape to maintain consistent positioning without rigid pressure points.
• 20" × 30" full-body positioning kit size is intended for comprehensive neonatal support, including head-to-toe alignment and containment positioning.
• Includes a multi-piece setup (full body positioner + utility positioner + covers and straps) to allow flexible shaping for different clinical needs.
• Helps reduce pressure, friction, and shear forces, supporting pressure injury prevention and improved skin protection in premature infants.
• Designed to maintain neutral body alignment and create a “nesting” environment, which supports calming, sleep, and developmental care practices in NICU patients.
• Reusable and remoldable structure allows clinicians to adjust positioning repeatedly as the infant’s condition changes.
• Intended for single-patient clinical use, with strict monitoring requirements due to neonatal safety considerations.

                 
Q&A      

Q: What is the Mölnlycke Z-Flex Neonatal Fluidized Positioner Kit (20" W x 30" D, 1400308)?
A: The Mölnlycke Z-Flex / Z-Flo Neonatal Fluidized Positioner Kit 1400308 is a neonatal and pediatric positioning system designed to support infants in NICU care by providing customizable, moldable positioning that helps reduce pressure and maintain safe alignment.

Q: What is it used for?
A: It is used in neonatal intensive care to create a protective “nest” for premature or ill infants, helping maintain flexed, midline positioning and reducing pressure on vulnerable areas to support development and comfort.

Q: How does it work?
A: The device contains a fluidized medium of microspheres and viscous fluid inside a sealed cover. Clinicians can mold it into a custom shape that conforms to the infant’s body and it will hold that shape until remolded, providing stable, pressure-redistributing support.

Q: What are the key benefits?
A: It helps reduce pressure points, support neurodevelopmental positioning, improve comfort, and accommodate medical lines or equipment, while minimizing shear and friction on delicate neonatal skin.

Q: What size is this kit?
A: This model measures 20 inches wide by 30 inches deep, making it suitable for full-body neonatal positioning applications in NICU environments.

Q: Is it reusable?
A: It is typically single-patient use, but it can be continuously reshaped and reused for that same infant throughout their care period as positioning needs change.

             
Maintenance Tips    

• Use only under clinical supervision; ensure correct neonatal positioning protocol is followed at all times.
• Always place a protective cover or linen barrier between infant and positioner to maintain hygiene and skin safety.
• Clean outer surface only with approved hospital disinfectant; do not soak, autoclave, or immerse the internal fluidized core.
• Do not expose to heat above 40°C (104°F) as high temperatures can damage the fluidized bead structure.
• Avoid sharp objects, rings, or fingernails near the surface, as punctures can cause leakage and device failure.
• Inspect frequently for damage or loss of shape, and replace immediately if punctured or no longer supportive.
• Remold gently as needed to support safe neonatal positioning and pressure redistribution without stressing the material.
• Store flat in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and mechanical pressure to preserve structure.
• Use single-patient protocol to reduce cross-contamination risk in NICU settings
