Mölnlycke Z-Flo - Fluidized Positioner 30 W X 16 D Inch Floam Freestanding - 1401011

• Z-Flo positioners can be used to help protect the occiput by providing pressure redistribution while maintaining proper head and neck alignment
• Mölnlycke Z-Flo Fluidized Positioners offer the ability to uniquely conform to and support the patient’s body in a comfortable position until time to reposition again
• Won’t flatten or heat up like rolled towels and blankets
• Redistributes force over a greater surface area or helps offload bony prominences
• Suitable for use in adult and pediatric populations
• For single patient use only but can travel with patient across care continuum
• Not made from natural rubber latex or DEHP
• You can also easily mold space to protect the ears or to create channels for medical devices

What our Experts Think  

• The Mölnlycke Z-Flo Fluidized Positioner (1401011) is a medical-grade pressure redistribution device designed to support safe patient positioning in clinical care settings.
• Uses fluidized bead (“Floam”) technology that conforms precisely to body contours and maintains shape without flattening or shifting.
• 30 × 16 inch medium size is commonly used for head, neck, limb, and torso support in adult and pediatric patients.
• Helps reduce pressure on bony prominences by redistributing force over a larger surface area.
• Designed to maintain neutral alignment while supporting repositioning protocols in hospitals, ICUs, and long-term care.
• Unlike foam or pillows, it does not lose shape, flatten, or retain heat, improving consistency in patient support.
• Single-patient use design allows it to travel with the patient across care environments.
• Flexible molding allows creation of custom support channels (ears, heels, medical devices) for pressure injury prevention.

                 
Q&A  

Q: What is the Mölnlycke Z-Flo Fluidized Positioner (30" W x 16" D, 1401011)?
A: The Mölnlycke Z-Flo Fluidized Positioner 1401011 is a medical-grade, bead-filled positioning aid designed to redistribute pressure and support patient alignment in clinical care settings.

Q: What is it used for?
A: It is used to help prevent pressure injuries by offloading bony prominences such as the occiput, while maintaining proper head, neck, and body positioning during recovery or immobility.

Q: How does it work?
A: The fluidized bead “Floam” material molds around the patient and holds its shape, providing custom pressure redistribution without inflating or collapsing like traditional foam or pillows.

Q: What are its key benefits?
A: It helps reduce pressure points, maintain alignment, and improve comfort, while allowing clinicians to create shaped support areas for ears, heels, or medical devices.

Q: Is it reusable?
A: It is typically single-patient use, but can be reshaped and used repeatedly for that same patient throughout the care continuum.

Q: What size is this model?
A: This version measures 30 inches wide by 16 inches deep, suitable for medium adult positioning needs in hospitals and long-term care.

                 
Maintenance Tips  

• Keep clean and dry on the outer cover/linen layer only; never immerse or wash the internal fluidized bead core.
• Always use a protective cover or sheet barrier between patient and device to prevent contamination and skin exposure issues.
• Avoid punctures or sharp objects, as damage can cause bead leakage and loss of pressure-redistribution function.
• Do not autoclave, microwave, or apply direct heat, which can degrade the internal structure.
• Re-mold gently when needed to restore support shape—do not force or over-compress the device.
• Inspect regularly for loss of shape or support performance; replace if it no longer holds the desired positioning.
• Store flat in a cool, dry area, away from sunlight and heavy pressure to maintain bead distribution.
• Do not X-ray through the positioner to avoid imaging distortion and potential material stress.
