The Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation® (FIS) System offers cutting-edge therapy by simulating the sensation of being immersed in fluid. This innovative technology automatically adjusts to each patient's body, creating a personalized near-buoyant state that prevents and treats pressure injuries, including ulcers, post-surgical flaps, and grafts.
Designed for optimal pressure redistribution, the Dolphin FIS System promotes healthy blood flow, reduces tissue deformation, and eliminates damaging shear forces—ensuring faster wound healing and superior patient outcomes.
Key Features:
-
Clinically Proven Pressure Redistribution: The Dolphin System provides 3D volumetric engagement by automatically adapting to patient weight, surface area, and position changes. Ideal for preventing and healing pressure ulcers (up to Stage 4) and aiding recovery after post-operative flaps and grafts.
-
Personalized Comfort: The system measures each patient’s unique characteristics to create a custom immersion profile, reducing stress on soft tissue and improving circulation for better healing.
-
Therapy On the Go: With a 12-hour battery life, the Dolphin System ensures uninterrupted therapy even during patient transport. The system fits seamlessly onto standard ICU, Med/Surg, and Bariatric bed frames, and is available in standard (35" x 82" x 10") and bariatric (42" x 82" x 10") sizes for broader care needs.
-
Minimizes Risk During Critical Care: Ideal for patients with conditions that limit repositioning or movement. The Dolphin System's automatic pressure adjustment ensures continuous support, even in situations where manual repositioning may not be possible or recommended.
Who Should Use the Dolphin FIS System?
The Dolphin FIS System is ideal for patients at risk for pressure ulcers, particularly those in long-term care or with limited mobility. Its advanced pressure redistribution prevents tissue damage and promotes faster healing. Post-surgical patients recovering from flaps and grafts benefit from the system’s ability to create optimal healing conditions. Additionally, spinal cord injury patients can rely on its continuous pressure relief without frequent repositioning, reducing the risk of further complications.
