Mangar ELK Emergency Patient Lifting Cushion
As an NDIS Support Coordinator and having a client who is a falls risk, we arranged a trial of both the Elk and Camel after my client had a soft fall and had to wait over 9 hours on the floor for an ambulance to assist my clients partner in safely lifting my client. The Camel has literally been a life changer for my client and partner!
The Elk - gizmo is fantastic. I would personally recommend this product to one & all. I had a series of falls (over 3 days) it lifts you to standing position & saves the lifter ending up with a back injury.
Mum fell in the living room last month and we used to panic trying to get her up safely. The ELK has changed everything I can lift her on my own without strain or risk. It’s quick, gentle and she feels secure the whole time. I honestly don’t know how we managed without it
I’ve used the Mangar ELK in aged care for years and it’s the safest way to lift someone who’s fallen. It’s compact, easy to set up and works even in tight spaces such as in a bathroom.
