This lifting cushion is engineered to first sit up and then lift a fallen person, providing a comprehensive solution that supports patient dignity while significantly reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injury to the caregiver. Its design provides integral support to the patient's back, neck, and head, ensuring a safe and stable lift for individuals weighing up to 220 kg / 35 stone.

The Mangar Elk is a compact, battery-powered emergency lifting cushion designed to provide a safe and dignified lift for a fallen person with the assistance of a single caregiver. It is an essential piece of manual handling equipment for home care, residential facilities, and emergency services, particularly for use in confined spaces such as bathrooms and hallways where traditional hoists cannot be used. The Elk allows for a patient to be comfortably rolled onto the cushion and seated before inflation begins. The Airflo 24 compressor ensures a smooth, stable, and controlled lift to a seated position, ready for transfer. This solution significantly reduces the risks associated with moving and handling, ensuring compliance with safety protocols while preserving patient dignity.
Mangar Supine Lifting & Transfer enables healthcare workers to lift and transfer patients with minimal moving and handling, while providing a stable, safe experience for the patient.
The Mangar Swift Transfer Slide (SPU) is engineered to enhance infection control while ensuring safe and efficient patient transfers. Designed for single-patient use, these slides eliminate the risk of cross-contamination, making them ideal for high-turnover environments like hospitals and outpatient clinics. The SPU Swift allows caregivers to reposition or transfer supine patients with minimal physical effort, reducing strain and improving workplace safety.
Sold in a convenient pack of ten, the SPU Swift provides a stable and secure experience for the patient during lateral movement. When used with an air supply, such as the Mangar Airflo Duo, it inflates rapidly to create a comfortable cushion for transferring patients across a flat surface or from a lifting cushion to a bed. This disposable solution is a cornerstone of modern, safe patient handling protocols.
