Mölnlycke Z-Flo - Neonatal Fluidized Positioner Kit 16 W X 24 D Inch Floam Freestanding - 1400304

Mölnlycke Z-Flo - Neonatal Fluidized Positioner Kit 16 W X 24 D Inch Floam Freestanding - 1400304

• Unlike mattresses, fluidized positioners can be contoured to fit each individual baby, even accommodating medical devices as needed
• Minimizes the harmful effects of friction, shear forces and abnormal interface pressure on the baby
• Helps caregiver change the infant’s position with minimal disturbance to the patient
• Fluidized positioner provides better sleep efficiency
• Won’t flatten and heat up like rolled towels and blankets
• Doesn’t shift, lose shape or retain moisture like foam rings and wedges
• Can also be used for pediatric patients

What our Experts Think

• Neonatal fluidized positioning kit designed to provide stable, pressure-redistributing support for infants in clinical environments.
• Uses fluidized “Floam” technology that molds precisely to the baby’s body, helping reduce pressure points and improve comfort.
• Freestanding 16" × 24" support pad offers a versatile surface for safe positioning during care, procedures, or rest.
• Conforms and retains shape to maintain consistent support without constant adjustment.
• Helps clinicians achieve neutral alignment and controlled containment for fragile neonatal patients.
• Designed for use in NICU settings where pressure injury prevention and positioning stability are critical.
• Lightweight, repositionable design makes it practical for repeated use across clinical workflows.
• A specialized medical positioning solution intended for trained healthcare professionals in neonatal

                   
Q&A  

Q: What is the Mölnlycke Z-Flo Neonatal Fluidized Positioner Kit 16 W × 24 D (1400304) used for?
A: A neonatal fluidized positioning system designed to support and stabilize newborns in NICU settings by molding around the infant to provide gentle, even pressure redistribution and positioning support.

Q: What does the Z-Flo fluidized material do?
A: It contains a fluidized medium that conforms to the infant’s body shape, helping reduce pressure points, maintain alignment, and create a supportive “nest” that holds its shape until repositioned.

Q: What is included in the 1400304 kit?
A: A 16" W × 24" D medium fluidized positioning pad designed for neonatal use, typically supplied as part of a kit configuration for clinical positioning and support.

Q: How is it used in neonatal care?
A: It is used in NICUs to help position newborns during rest, monitoring, or procedures, supporting proper alignment and reducing movement-related stress while allowing reshaping as clinical needs change.

Q: Is it reusable or adjustable?
A: Yes. It can be manually reshaped multiple times to accommodate different positioning needs during care without losing its supportive structure.

Q: Who is this product intended for?
A: It is intended for trained healthcare professionals working with neonatal patients in hospital or clinical environments, not for home use.

                 
Maintenance Tips  

• Inspect cover integrity before each use; do not use if torn, leaking beads, or compromised seams.
• Clean the external cover per hospital infection-control protocol using approved low-level disinfectants only.
• Do not immerse the internal fluidized bead system unless explicitly approved by manufacturer guidelines.
• Ensure the positioner is fully dry before reuse to prevent microbial growth.
• Avoid exposure to sharp instruments, excessive heat, or autoclaving, which can damage the material structure.
• Check for even bead distribution before patient placement to maintain proper pressure redistribution support.
• Store flat in a clean, dry clinical environment away from direct sunlight and contamination sources.
• Replace the unit if fluidization performance or structural integrity is reduced.
