Molnlycke Tortoise Turning & Positioning System – Gentle, Pressure-Redistributing Patient Support
The Molnlycke Tortoise Turning & Positioning System is a non-powered pressure redistribution mat designed for healthcare providers, carers, and NDIS participants. It helps support safe, comfortable turning and repositioning while helping prevent pressure injuries and reducing physical strain.
Why Choose Molnlycke Tortoise Turning & Positioning System?
This innovative system combines a positioning pad with a fluidized positioner (Z‑Flo™) to offload bony prominences like the sacrum, hips, and shoulders. It adapts to different body shapes using low-pressure air displacement, maintaining a neutral alignment and helping caregivers boost or reposition patients with ease.
Key Features & Benefits
- Pressure redistribution: Fluidized positioner and air-adaptive pad help reduce tissue deformation and pressure ulcer risk.
- Ergonomic handles: Multiple handles support safe lateral transfers, boosting, and turning with reduced caregiver effort.
- Neutral body alignment: Provides ongoing support for supine or side-lying positions.
- Imaging-safe: Mat and positioner are suitable for use in MRI, CT, and X-ray environments.
- Easy care: Durably constructed with a rip-stop cover, no maintenance required—replace if damaged.
- Single-patient across care settings: Can follow patients through ICU, imaging, wards, and home care.
Available Variants
- REF 1400800 – Standard: Molnlycke Tortoise Turning and Positioning System for general patient care.
- REF 1400801 – Bariatric: Designed for larger patients requiring additional support during repositioning.
Indications for Use
- Immobile, bed-bound or difficult-to-move patients
- Prevention and management of pressure injuries (sacrum, hips, shoulders)
- Neutral-support positioning in supine, side-lying, and prone scenarios
- Safe patient handling in ICU, wards, imaging, long-term care, and home settings
- Use during lateral transfers, boosting, and repositioning
How to Use
- Prepare the bed: Place the Tortoise pad on the bed with handles accessible and align sacral markings.
- Position the patient: Use draw sheet and ergonomic handles to slide the patient onto the pad so sacrum and hips are supported.
- Adjust alignment: Use the Z‑Flo™ positioner to maintain the patient’s therapeutic angle and body alignment.
- Secure the setup: Tuck handles as needed and place linen between skin and pad; ensure fluidized positioner is under correct area.
- Reposition regularly: Continue using the system under patient care; replace if any damage occurs.
