The Mangar ELK is an emergency lifting cushion that has been designed to provide a safe and dignified lift for those that have fallen. It is recognised as a unique manual handling aid for emergency service professionals in pressured response situations and is currently used in every ambulance in the UK.
The ELK is an innovative manual handling device designed to lift a fallen person of the floor with the support of only one person. Using the ELK, the individual can be safely lifted from the floor at the touch of a button, at the same time as minimising the risk of injury to both the emergency services professional and the fallen individual.
It is the ideal patient lifting solution for anyone who has fallen in a confined space as they can easily shuffle on to the cushion - or rolled from the recovery position if required - and then assisted to an upright seated position. What’s more – all of this is done at the touch of a button!
