ADVANCED SOLUTIONS FOR OPTIMAL SACRAL CARE
Mepilex® Border Sacrum I Tortoise® Turning & Positioning System | Z-Flo™ Fluidized Positioner
The Sacrum Prevention Bundle combines the capabilities of Mepilex® Border Sacrum, Tortoise® Turning & Positioning System and Z-Flo™ Fluidized Positioner to deliver a powerful defense against sacral pressure injuries.
Mepilex Border Sacrum lowers HAPI rates and reduces overall costs, with a proven reduction of per-patient treatment costs and substantial savings1. The Tortoise Turning & Positioning System provides exceptional support and comfort during patient repositioning, reducing the risk of sacral pressure injuries. The Z-Flo Fluidized Positioner will maintain its shape and the patient's position over time2 which can redistribute pressure and shear away from the sacral area.
Mepilex Border Sacrum
Mepilex Border Sacrum is designed to lower sacral pressure injury rates and reduce treatment costs. It has demonstrated a remarkable 64% savings within a cohort of 1.03 million patients, with a reduction of $77 per patient1. This cost reduction, coupled with its efficacy, makes it a valuable asset in preventing pressure injuries on the sacrum.
Tortoise Turning & Positioning System
The Tortoise Turning & Positioning System offers next-generation performance in safe patient handling. It provides exceptional support and comfort during repositioning, reducing the risk of sacral pressure injuries.
Tortoise is a support surface that facilitates pressure redistribution through envelopment. It also aids in turning patients and the Tortoise mat together with the Z‑Flo Fluidized Positioner will protect the patient by keeping them in the desired position over time2.

Z‑Flo Fluidized Positioner
Z‑Flo Fluidized Positioner will maintain its shape and the patient’s position over time2. One study sought to evaluate the maintenance of the 30° side-lying lateral tilt position when using Z‑Flo Fluidized Positioner and a standard care pillow. Results showed a statistically significant difference between the two positioning devices’ ability to maintain a turn over time3. Z‑Flo provided 87% maintenance of turn after 2 hours3.
Z‑Flo enables various degrees of turn when positioning a patient and can be shaped to any three-dimensional shape, and thus support a range of angles when turning a patient3,4.
