Mangar Elk
Lifting and assisting patients is the leading cause of injury to emergency care providers. With the Mangar Elk you'll be able to lift patients without lifting a finger, therefore completely avoiding the high risk of injury associated with patient lifting. The Elk is widely used in the UK, Australian, and Canadian emergency care markets, and we are now helping the UK-based manufacturer bring their solution to the US emergency care market by sending it to departments free of charge to try in the field.
Without the Elk, you're forced to lift and assist patients manually, thus increasing your chances of sustaining a manual handling injury. The Elk is battery-powered and is deployable in confined spaces. So the next time you find a patient on the floor of a small bathroom, save your back and let the Elk do the lifting for you. Field trial the Mangar Elk today to discover how you can lift patients of any size - SAFELY and EASILY.
