The Mölnlycke^® Z-Flo™ Fluidized Positioner for neonates is a positioning tool for the neonatal population. It can be molded to conform to the infant to help position the head or along the body to achieve individualised developmental positioning     ⁽supine, prone and side-lying).

The Z-Flo positioner offers support and contouring to help facilitate positioning of the neonate    . It can easily be shaped for each baby to support developmentally appropriate positioning for sleep efficiency    , neuromuscular development   and change to and aid in the prevention of head deformation . Z-Flo holds its shape until you remold it  .

In a pilot randomised controlled trial on infants with feeding difficulties, the conformational positioning achieved with the use of Z-Flo resulted in better sleep efficiency than when compared to standard positioning    .

The Z-Flo positioner has also been designed to be molded away from or around vulnerable areas, such as ears or existing wounds, as well as medical devices.

• Conforms to support the neonate in the desired position until next repositioning is needed
• Can be molded to create a soft, well-defined nest for the baby    
• Supports developmentally appropriate positioning for better sleep efficiency    , neuromuscular development   and aid in the prevention of head deformation  
• Redistributes pressure over a greater surface area      
• Molds and holds – can be shaped to the individual positioning desired and holds until repositioned    
• Safe for use in X-Ray, CT and MRI  
• Can also be used for pediatric patients
• Available in different sizes and kits
