Dolphin FIS® (Fluid Immersion Simulation) Mattress System
Joerns Dolphin FIS® Mattress System represents the next generation of therapeutic support surfaces—engineered to promote optimal wound healing, prevent pressure injuries, and enhance patient comfort through advanced Fluid Immersion Simulation (FIS®) technology. Designed for patients who are immobile, at high risk for pressure ulcers, or recovering from complex wounds, flaps, or grafts, this system intelligently replicates the sensation of being suspended in a fluid medium. By dynamically adjusting to each patient’s body profile, the Dolphin FIS® system achieves near-neutral buoyancy—eliminating harmful shear forces and ensuring consistent pressure redistribution. This clinically proven approach helps maintain normal blood flow, supports tissue perfusion, and accelerates healing outcomes for critical care, long-term, and rehabilitation patients alike.
With automatic patient-specific calibration, real-time adjustments, and seamless compatibility with most medical bed frames, the Dolphin FIS® system provides clinicians with a reliable and intuitive solution for wound prevention and management. Its quiet operation, 12-hour battery backup, and portability make it suitable for use across ICUs, surgical recovery units, and home healthcare environments—delivering advanced care without interruption.
- Fluid Immersion Simulation (FIS®) Technology: Simulates the effects of immersion in a fluid medium, creating a near buoyant state that minimizes soft tissue distortion.
- Automatic Patient Profiling: Continuously measures body characteristics and adjusts immersion depth for personalized, optimal pressure redistribution.
- Enhanced Wound Healing: Promotes normal blood flow and tissue perfusion, reducing shear and friction forces that contribute to skin breakdown.
- Clinically Proven for Complex Cases: Effective in treating Stage I–IV pressure ulcers, burns, flaps, and grafts, as well as patients with spinal injuries.
- Battery Backup for Continuous Care: 12-hour battery life ensures uninterrupted therapy during patient transport or power interruptions.
- Universal Bed Compatibility: Fits most ICU, medical-surgical, and bariatric bed frames, supporting flexibility in hospital and home settings.
- Quiet and Low-Maintenance Design: Engineered for ease of use, low noise operation, and reliable long-term performance.
Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation (FIS) System - Clinical Indications
The Fluid Immersion Simulation technology of the Dolphin System reduces soft tissue distortion and promotes blood flow, creating a platform that is highly effective for the prevention and healing of pressure ulcers through Stage IV, as well as treating patients with post-operative flaps and grafts.
The Dolphin FIS System may also be used for patients whose medical condition precludes turning and repositioning, or where these interventions may be contraindicated as they place the patient at risk for further compromise, as well as patients with spinal cord injury once the acute injury has been stabilized and these patients have been cleared by a physician. In all cases, Joerns clinical indications are guidelines and should be taken only as recommendations for consideration during individual patient assessment by the clinician.

FAQs
FAQs
Q: What makes the Joerns Dolphin FIS® Mattress System different from a standard air mattress?
A: Unlike traditional alternating-pressure mattresses, the Dolphin FIS® system uses Fluid Immersion Simulation technology to replicate the physical properties of water immersion—providing uniform pressure distribution and eliminating harmful shear forces that can impede wound healing.
Q: Who can benefit from using the Dolphin FIS® Mattress System?
A: It is ideal for patients at high risk of pressure ulcers, as well as those with existing wounds, burns, post-operative flaps, or grafts. It also benefits patients with limited mobility or spinal injuries who cannot be frequently repositioned.
Q: Can the Dolphin FIS® mattress be used on standard hospital beds?
A: Yes. The system is designed to fit most hospital bed frames, including ICU, med-surg, and bariatric models, offering easy integration into existing care environments.
Q: How does the system adjust to different patient sizes and weights?
A: The Dolphin FIS® automatically senses each patient’s weight, body shape, and surface area, continuously recalibrating to maintain proper immersion and support throughout use.
Q: Is the Dolphin FIS® Mattress System easy to transport?
A: Yes. With its 12-hour battery life and lightweight, modular design, the system remains fully functional during patient transport or power outages, ensuring uninterrupted care.
Q: What clinical evidence supports the effectiveness of the Dolphin FIS® system?
A: The Dolphin FIS® is backed by peer-reviewed studies and clinical use across leading healthcare facilities, demonstrating its ability to reduce pressure injury incidence and promote faster healing in complex wound cases.
