Will sole source to Joern s vendor based upon Fluid immersion surfaces (Dolphin) provides these therapeutic needs by redistributing body pressures over a larger surface area by allowing the patient to penetrate or sink into the support surface. This mimics a fluid surface using air cells. The air flow also allows for microclimate control, which is a constant battle in the veteran population as patients mobility is greatly decreased. Even with routine turning protocols sweating occurs, and this moisture decreases skin integrity. Once skin integrity is compromised, there is increased risk for friction and sheering, as well as pressure released skin breakdown. Fluid immersion surfaces are the gold standard that should be considered when treating stage 3 and stage 4 pressure injuries. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
