Mangar Elk Lifting Cushion System

Who Uses This Product? Medical personnel, from EMS paramedics to retirement home staff, use the lifting system to aid individuals with limited strength and mobility.

Why Give It a Try? The Elk is compact and battery-powered to lift a person up to 980 pounds while protecting a caregiver from potential injuries. The robust cushions do the heavy lifting, thus removing the physical toll and strain that lifting places on the body and helping to keep staff safe and productive.

When a fall occurs and the individual is uninjured, the Mangar Elk Emergency Lifting Cushion is there to get them back up. 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 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.

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 positioned, the caregiver uses the remote control to activate the compressor for inflation. 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 in a sitting position. The compressor automatically shuts off, keeping the cushion from bursting.

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.
