Z-Flo Fluidised Positioners and Heel Boot

Mölnlycke

Description

A fluidised positioner that moulds to individual patient and anatomical shapes to redistribute pressure. Offloads bony prominences, such as the occiput. Zero-flow: once moulded into any shape, it will maintain that form and patient position over time. Zero-memory: moulds to a new shape when needed without returning to its previous form.

Indications

Reduces pressure by conforming to the patient’s body and enlarging the contact surface area. Can be moulded to relieve pressure from sensitive areas such as the ears or where there is an existing wound. Offers patient pressure redistribution and helps to maintain the required patient positioning.
