View full detailsHow Fluid Immersion Simulation® Works
Unlike traditional alternating pressure mattresses that create pressure points, Dolphin's patented Fluid Immersion Simulation® uses millions of tiny silicone microbeads fluidized by gentle airflow. This creates a near-frictionless surface that:
- Envelops the body in continuous, uniform support
- Eliminates pressure peaks across all bony prominences
- Reduces shear and friction to near-zero levels
- Maintains optimal microclimate with advanced moisture management
The Dolphin Difference: Beyond Traditional Pressure Relief
Traditional Alternating Pressure Systems:
- Create cyclical pressure points during inflation/deflation
- Require frequent patient repositioning
- Generate noise that disrupts sleep
- Limited effectiveness for Stage III/IV wounds
Dolphin Fluid Immersion Therapy:
- Continuous immersion with no pressure cycling
- Zero repositioning protocols possible
- Whisper-quiet for optimal healing environment
- Proven effective for advanced stage pressure injuries

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation® technology, answered using verified clinical documentation.
How does Fluid Immersion Simulation® technology work?
+Dolphin FIS uses millions of tiny silicone microbeads that are fluidized by gentle airflow, creating a near-frictionless surface that mimics the therapeutic benefits of floating in water. This technology provides continuous, uniform pressure redistribution across the entire body surface without the complications of actual water immersion.
Is Dolphin FIS safe for pediatric patients?
+Yes. Dolphin offers specialized Pediatric FIS Mattress Systems designed specifically for neonatal through adolescent patients. The system provides the same advanced fluid immersion technology in appropriately sized configurations for smaller patients.
Does the system require frequent patient repositioning?
+The continuous immersion provided by Dolphin FIS technology can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for frequent patient repositioning, as the system maintains consistent pressure redistribution regardless of patient position.
How loud is the system during operation?
+Dolphin FIS systems operate with whisper-quiet technology, promoting an optimal healing environment and allowing for uninterrupted patient rest.
What is the AutoVector™ control system?
+Available on the Integrated Bed System, AutoVector™ provides seamless integration between the Dolphin therapy surface and hospital bed positioning functions, allowing coordinated pressure management and patient positioning through intuitive controls.
How do I maintain and clean the Dolphin system?
+Detailed maintenance and cleaning procedures are provided in the user manual. Replacement therapy pads and covers are available to maintain optimal system performance and hygiene standards.
Can the system be used for bariatric patients?
+Yes. Dolphin offers Advanced Therapy Bariatric Surface options designed to accommodate higher weight capacities while maintaining the same effective pressure redistribution technology.
