Advanced Fluid Immersion Therapy for Superior Pressure Relief & Wound Healing
The Joerns Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation (FIS) Mattress System is an advanced therapeutic support surface designed to optimize pressure redistribution and promote wound healing. By simulating the sensation of floating in a fluid medium, the system creates a near-neutral buoyancy environment that minimizes tissue distortion and enhances blood flow.
With automated patient-specific adjustments and continuous monitoring, it delivers highly personalized care for complex conditions such as pressure ulcers, grafts, and flaps.
Everything You Need for Smarter Pressure Relief & Better Patient Outcomes
- Fluid Immersion Technology: Uses advanced Fluid Immersion Simulation (FIS) to mimic a fluid-like environment, reducing pressure and improving patient comfort.
- Personalized Pressure Redistribution: Automatically analyzes patient weight, shape, and movement to create a customized immersion profile for optimal support.
- Enhanced Wound Healing: Promotes improved tissue perfusion and helps prevent and treat pressure ulcers up to Stage IV, as well as post-surgical flaps and grafts.
- Minimized Shear & Friction: Eliminates gradient shear forces and reduces friction to protect delicate skin and prevent further tissue damage.
- Continuous Auto-Adjustment: Dynamically adapts in real time to patient repositioning, ensuring consistent therapeutic support without manual intervention.
- Extended Battery Backup: Provides up to 12 hours of battery life, allowing uninterrupted therapy during transport or power outages.
- Versatile Compatibility: Designed to fit existing bed frames, including ICU, Med/Surg, and bariatric beds for seamless integration.
- Multiple Configurations: Available in standard, bariatric, and pediatric models, with additional options for wheelchairs and stretchers.
- User-Friendly Control Unit: Features an intuitive interface with clear graphics, alarms, and LED indicators for easy operation and safety monitoring.
- Clinical Versatility: Suitable for patients with limited mobility, spinal cord injuries (with physician approval), burns, amputations, arthritis, oncology needs, and more.

Joerns Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation Mattress System Additional Information
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does the Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation (FIS) system work?
The system uses advanced Fluid Immersion Simulation technology to mimic the feeling of floating in a fluid medium. It automatically analyzes the patient’s body and redistributes pressure evenly, creating a near weightless environment that reduces tissue stress and improves blood flow.
What conditions is this mattress best suited for?
The Dolphin FIS Mattress is ideal for preventing and treating pressure ulcers up to Stage IV, as well as supporting recovery from surgical flaps, grafts, burns, and amputations. It’s also beneficial for patients with limited mobility or conditions requiring advanced pressure management.
Does the mattress automatically adjust to the patient?
Yes. The system continuously monitors patient movement, weight, and positioning, then automatically adjusts in real time to maintain optimal support and therapeutic pressure redistribution without manual intervention.
Can this mattress be used with my existing bed frame?
Yes. The Dolphin FIS system is designed to fit most standard hospital and homecare bed frames, including ICU, Med/Surg, and bariatric beds, making it easy to integrate into existing care environments.
What happens if there is a power outage?
The system includes a built-in rechargeable battery backup that provides up to 12 hours of continuous therapy. This ensures uninterrupted support during transport or unexpected power loss.
