The ELK lifting cushion from Mangar Health is a unique solution for helping a patient up after a fall.

It’s pneumatic battery-powered lifting technology allows it to be compact, portable, and easy to operate.

When you open the ELK, you’ll immediately notice how small and light it is. The entire unit creates a portable package that weighs only 8lbs.

To match that portability, the included battery-powered compressor is only a pound heavier than the main ELK unit - and it’s even more compact.

To operate the ELK, first unfold the lifting cushion beside the patient, lining the end up with the patient’s waist.

Connect the 4-way hand control to the compressor and the lifting cushion - using the numbers and colors as your guide. Then turn the compressor on.

Help the patient into a seated position on top of the ELK, using one hand to support the patient and the other to hold the control.

Press and hold the number 1 on the control to begin inflating the lowest compartment. This number also has a braille divot so that you can find it more easily.

The first compartment will inflate fully until it becomes hard, at which point the compressor will stop operating.

Continue with buttons 2, 3 , and 4 until the patient has reached a height where you can aid them in standing.

To deflate the ELK, disconnect the controller from the compressor and press each number to deflate each compartment, applying pressure if necessary.

Thanks to it’s portability, the ELK can easily be stored out of the way, like a defibrillator for emergencies.

It takes about 16 hours to charge the compressor fully, which gives the unit at least 8 full lifts - and the easy to read display means you’ll always know how much power you have left.

So who is the ELK for? If you need a portable, easy-to-operate lift that can be used at a moment’s notice in even the tightest spaces (which we also tested), then it might be the right fit for you.

If you need extra support, Mangar’s Camel is a bit less compact but lifts a patient fully off the ground AND sits them up.

If size and portability aren’t much of an issue, then a traditional mechanical or battery-powered lifter might be a better fit.
