Floatus is the result of research on marine rescue procedures. From those results, we enlightened that actual devices cannot satisfy all the victims’ necessities. We wanted to ensure both physic and psychologic safety. Ergonomics and stability studies gave rise to a product configuration composed of a core element realized in polymeric material and an inflatable part. The product has been developed in 2 versions: Floatus X1 lets rescue one people per time, Floatus X6 6 instead.

Innovative solutions that came from different fields of application have been considered into the design process of Floatus, to have the best results. The inflatable system ensures an extreme stability and improve the portability when the device is unused, because can be wrapped up inside the main body; the support belts are resistant and let the victims be safe and comfortable, the purification water system exploits graphene filters while heating it up thank to the energy collected with photovoltaic panels.
