Mangar Elk Emergency Lifting Cushion

The Mangar Elk emergency lifting cushion is a compact, portable, battery-powered emergency lifting cushion that has been specifically designed to assist a user safely back to their feet after a fall.

• Fully portable emergency lifting system
• Easily operated by just one carer
• Reduces the risks of lifting for carers
• Reduces the risk of injury to the user
• Can be used indoors and outdoors
• Ideal for use in small rooms and tight spaces
• Supplied with rechargeable battery powered compressor
• Folds into compact size when not in use for convenient storage

The Elk Emergency Lifting Cushion is totally portable and is supplied with its own battery-powered compressor. That means it can literally be used anywhere, indoors or outdoors, making it particularly effective in small rooms or tight spaces where other lifting equipment cannot be used.

Convenient and versatile lifting system

User-friendly and designed to be used with the help of a carer, the person that has fallen is gently rolled onto the lifting cushion and helped to a sitting position. This moving and handling aid is then gradually inflated whilst the carer stands behind them, supporting them until they are in a high enough raised position to stand.

Use of the Elk minimises the risks of accidents or injuries for both the carer and the user, risks that can be particularly high when assisting a heavier user.

The Elk Emergency Lifting Cushion is used and recommended by most UK NHS Ambulance Trusts as a key piece of emergency equipment.
