Mangar Elk Lifting Cushion Overview
When a fall without injury happens, the Mangar Elk Emergency Lifting Cushion is there to help. Caring for someone with limited mobility can be taxing on the body. Having this lifting device makes it a true game changer. Gone are the days of waiting for help to come or calling emergency services. This inflatable cushion gets the person back onto their feet in minutes, reducing the risk of injury to both the caregiver and the individual, and it does so in a dignified manner.
How Does the Elk Work?
The system supports emergency lifting for uninjured individuals up to 980 pounds. The cushion is rolled out flat and the person scoots onto the cushion. Heavier persons may want to use a Slide Sheet by Mangar. Once they are positioned, the caregiver uses the remote control to activate the compressor for inflation to begin. The battery-powered compressor ensures operation without finding a power source. The Airflo Plus Compressor gently fills each cushion for controlled inflation until the individual is at a sitting position. The compressor automatically shuts off, keeping the cushion from bursting.
Versatile Compact Design
The Mangar Elk is small and compact to get into areas with limited space, such as bathrooms, where traditional lifting equipment does not fit. Battery power and water-repellent material permit the lifting cushion to be placed indoors and out, making it the most flexible lift on the market.
How Does the Mangar Elk Lifting Cushion Improve Safety and Productivity?
Repeatedly lifting people from the floor takes its toll on both the staff and the patient. Regular lifting can create small muscle tears to major lumbar issues, these injuries result in time lost from work, increased worker's comp claims, and expensive turnover. Using the Elk for the heavy lifting takes the pressure off the body so that staff can stay healthy and productive.
