The ELK is a compact, battery powered lifting cushion for single handed care and the Stretcher Bars enables the ELK to lift a prone individual on a stretcher or body board in safety.
If someone falls over and they can shuffle on to the cushion or be rolled on from the recovery position and assisted to sit upright then the Elk can then be inflated at the touch of a button with someone supporting the individual from behind to bring them to a raise seated position ready to stand, then the Stretcher Bars can be used to avoid unsafe lifting of stretchers by paramedics.
