Mangar Elk
The ELK is an emergency lifting cushion designed to provide a safe, dignified lift and is recognised for reducing the risk of injury to carers.
Used in a range of settings, the ELK is used by trusted ambulance services across the globe as well as by hospitals, telecare response teams and care homes. Â Its ease of use means it is also ideal for families who care for a loved one with a propensity to fall but want to remain living independently at home. Â If someone has a fall they can shuffle onto the cushion, or be rolled on from the recovery position and assisted to sit upright. Â 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.
