"The Mangar Camel is an amazing piece of equipment, I have had to use it because I have peripheral neuropathy and when I fall I do not have the strength to get up without help, this made it so easy."

"I was delighted to try the Eagle and was very impressed by it. The back cushion was able to comfortably and securely move me from lying flat into a seated position. The seat cushions were then inflated, raising me to a height when I could stand. The entire process was quick, quiet and very simple. I especially appreciated the adjustability of the Eagle that ensured that the move was accomplished comfortably, and that I felt supported and secure throughout.

"“We are using the ISTUMBLE chart and Camel Lifting Cushion and they are working well at avoiding 999 calls for sure! We just had a chap have a seizure in Wentworth Lodge,– we were able to lift him with a lifting device – and although he did need hospital treatment anyway because of the length of seizure – the ambulance crew were very pleased he is up off the floor! – Who would have thought within one hour of the training we would be using it! Thanks Andrew!”

"‘I was surprised how strong and durable the cushion is and how easy it is to use. It’s a handy piece of equipment for the team to have and will help protect us from potential injuries and provide a safe lift for our patients.’"
Nick Richards Ozzati, Community First Responder
"We received a complaint from a member of the public that an elderly relative had fallen in the hospital during visiting time. They had asked staff for help to get up and been lifted using a hoist.
This had caused the elderly visitor some distress. They felt a hoist was undignified and shouldn’t be used on ‘non-patients’.
I had come across the Mangar Camel before and recognised that for uninjured people who have fallen, an inflatable lifting cushion provides a comfortable, dignified lift while still protecting staff from injury.
I recommended the introduction of Camels into our hospitals. We now keep the lifting cushions stored centrally and easily accessible on medical wards."
