Joerns Dolphin Pediatric FIS Mattress Systems – Fluid Immersion Simulation for Pediatric and Neonatal Wound Care and Pressure Injury Prevention

The Joerns Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation Pediatric Mattress System is a highly specialized therapeutic support surface specifically engineered for the unique clinical needs of pediatric and neonatal patients. Because pediatric patients have different body mass distributions and more fragile skin than adults, they are at a higher risk for pressure injuries during long-term immobilization. The Dolphin FIS technology mimics the sensation of floating in a fluid medium, effectively neutralizing vertical and shear forces that lead to skin breakdown. By maintaining near-normal blood flow and tissue perfusion, this system provides a "near-neutral" buoyant state. This pediatric-specific kit includes the AutoVector control unit, which is calibrated to recognize and adapt to smaller body profiles, ensuring that even the youngest patients receive world-class wound prevention and treatment.

Features:

• Pediatric-Specific FIS Technology: Replicates the benefits of fluid immersion for smaller body profiles, ensuring that pressure is distributed evenly across fragile pediatric skin
• AutoVector Microprocessor Control: Automatically calculates the immersion requirements for lower weight ranges, adapting over 100 times per second without caregiver intervention
• Stage I-IV Pressure Injury Management: Clinically indicated for the most severe cases of skin breakdown, as well as complex grafts and flaps in pediatric patients
• 12-Hour Battery Backup: Ensures that life-saving therapeutic immersion continues uninterrupted during patient transport or facility power loss
• Moisture & Heat Management: The low-friction, breathable cover helps manage the microclimate around the patient's skin, reducing the risk of maceration
• Anti-Shear Surface: Specifically designed to neutralize the friction forces that occur during patient repositioning, protecting compromised tissue
