Who is the MANGAR Eagle Lifting Cushion for?
The MANGAR Eagle Lifting Cushion is an inflatable cushion that helps lift a fallen person weighing up to 320kg, up off the floor and into a sitting position.
It is also suitable for lighter people who would prefer back support during their lift.
The physical risks associated with manual handling on the carer are reduced as all the lifting is done using the inflatable Camel cushion and Airflo 24 air compressor.

The Eagle is ideal for a home setting because it can be used in confined spaces to lift people who have fallen (e.g. bathrooms, hallways and dining rooms).
Its ease of use means it is suitable for those not professionally medically trained in the role of carer such as a family member supporting a loved one with a health condition that affects their likelihood of falling.
How to lift a heavy person who has fallen?
With an inbuilt backrest and internal ring construction, the Eagle offers a fully supportive lift that can be carried out entirely independently by the fallen person.
Compared to the Mangar ELK, the Mangar Eagle provides extra back support making it suitable for larger people or elderly people with limited back strength.
Using the simple hand control and compressor provided, the Eagle is inflated section by section to bring the individual up into a position from which to stand.
