At Molnlycke, we want every newborn baby to have the best possible start in life. Weve heard from neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) clinicians how newborn babies can suffer intense stress in a NICU, and that proper sleep is essential for normal neurodevelopment. ¹   Our MolnlyckeZ-FloTM Fluidized Positioners for Neonatal can help you provide the right care during these important early stages.

MolnlyckeZ-FloTM Fluidized Positioners for Neonatal are specially designed to comfort, support and help premature and ill infants continue normal development with containment in an individually molded nest. The infinitely adjustable neonatal positioners assist caregivers in meeting the unique positioning needs of NICU infants with a wide variety of medical conditions and equipment.

The fluidized medium in the fluidized positioner offers therapeutic support and contouring to help facilitate optimal positioning of the neonate. You can easily shape it with your hands into the right position for each baby and avoid pressure-forming contact areas. And you can rely on it to hold that shape until you re-mold it.

In a randomized controlled trial on use of a conformational fluidized positioner compared to standard positioning, babies calmed more easily, showed reduced wakefulness and were observed to sleep better.
