Q&A

Q: What is the Mölnlycke Z-Flo Fluidized Positioner 12″ × 20″ (1401007) used for?
A: A hospital-grade fluidized positioning device designed to support patient alignment, redistribute pressure, and reduce risk of pressure injuries by conforming closely to the body.

Q: How does the Z-Flo fluidized positioner work?
A: It uses a fluidized bead (Floam) technology that molds to the patient’s anatomy and holds its shape, helping offload bony prominences and distribute pressure more evenly.

Q: What makes the 12″ × 20″ size useful?
A: This compact size is ideal for targeted support areas such as the heels, sacrum, knees, elbows, or for creating customized positioning “nests” in adult or pediatric patients.

Q: What clinical uses does it have?
A: It is commonly used for side-lying support, heel floating in supine position, maintaining neutral body alignment, and reducing shear/friction during repositioning.

Q: Can it be reshaped during use?
A: Yes. It can be repeatedly molded and remolded to match changing patient positioning needs without losing its supportive structure.

Q: Who is this product intended for?
A: It is intended for trained healthcare professionals in hospitals, long-term care, or clinical settings to support pressure injury prevention and patient positioning.

                   
Maintenance Tips  

• Inspect cover before each use for tears, leaks, or seam damage; do not use if compromised.
• Ensure beads remain evenly fluidized before patient placement for consistent pressure redistribution.
• Clean outer cover using approved hospital-grade disinfectants per facility infection-control policy.
• Do not immerse internal bead system unless explicitly approved by manufacturer guidelines.
• Keep completely dry after cleaning to prevent microbial growth.
• Avoid exposure to sharp instruments, excessive heat, or autoclaving, which can damage the structure.
• Store flat in a clean, dry clinical area away from direct sunlight and contamination.
• Replace if fluidization performance or support consistency becomes uneven or degraded.
