Innovators in the support surface industry for over 20 years, Biologics has a strong foundation in pressure redistribution technology development. Biologics originally developed the Fluid Immersion SimulationTM software technology for the United States Navy, Marine Mammal Program. This provided the foundation for the development of anti-surface support technology based on the dolphin transportation system.
In 1997 Biologics, Inc. under contract with the United States Navy began development of the Fluid Immersion SimulationTM software technology. The surface was originally designed for the purpose of long-range transportation of trained marine mammals (dolphins and seals). The surface performed very well, minimizing the effects of soft tissue strain due to the shear forces of the surface against the dolphin's body. Today Biologics brings this advanced technology to the general public and produces pressure redistribution surfaces for operating room tables used in the healthcare environment.
