Hello, I’m Sam Sanders, Clinical Account Manager at Medstrom. Before joining Medstrom, I worked as a Registered General Nurse (RGN) specialising in palliative care and oncology. My roles included Palliative Care Clinical Nurse Specialist and Lead Acute Oncology Nurse, giving me first-hand experience with the challenges of delivering end-of-life and palliative care.
Since transitioning to Medstrom and expanding my knowledge of specialist equipment, I often find myself wishing I had known about some of these solutions earlier in my career. Including ‘thinking outside of the box’ and looking at those non-pharmaceutical measures to support our patients.
One such breakthrough is Dolphin Therapy, a fluid immersion system which not only has prevented skin breakdown in 98% of patients, but is known to improve comfort, pain management, sleep and reduced frequent repositioning – all aspects which are so important for end-of-life care.
Fluid immersion simulation provides the highest level of immersion and envelopment, mimicking buoyancy to reduce pressure and prevent tissue ischemia, even when wounds are in direct contact with the surface.
For patients receiving end-of-life care, having a support surface that prevents skin breakdown and aids in healing is essential. Discover more about the benefits of Dolphin at end-of-life here:

“We didn’t have to increase pain relief for the patient, and the patient was able to tolerate a procedure which improved their pain.”
