ELK Lifting Cushion with AF24 Compressor

Designed to reduce injury and risk for both patient and caregiver. 
Falls are one of the most common and high-risk incidents in healthcare settings. Improper lifting techniques following a fall can lead to secondary injuries in patients and musculoskeletal strain in caregivers.
The ELK is specifically engineered to address both.

Minimizing caregiver injury risk

Manual lifting is a leading cause of workplace injury in healthcare. The ELK eliminates the need for unsafe lifting by providing a mechanical, air-assisted raise, enabling a single caregiver to safely manage a fall. It reduces strain on back, shoulders, and joints, supports safer compliance with no-lift policies, and enables consistent, repeatable lifting technique

Supporting patient stability and reassurance

Post-fall patients are often disoriented, fragile, or fearful. The ELK’s air-inflation system creates a gradual, controlled lift, avoiding sudden movements that can increase anxiety or injury risk. A user's feet remain grounded during lift, which is important for patients with cognitive impairments.

Superior pressure care during lifting

Unlike rigid lifting devices, the ELK uses low-pressure air (approx. 5 PSI) to distribute weight evenly across the body, this reduces localized pressure points. This enhances comfort for longer lift durations if needed, but also makes Elk ideal for fragile skin and pressure injury prevention.

Adaptability across real-world fall scenarios

Patients rarely fall in ideal positions. The ELK is designed for maximum versatility, allowing caregivers to respond effectively regardless of how or where the fall occurs.

Operational simplicity drives compliance

Equipment only works if it’s used. The ELK is designed to be intuitive and quick to deploy, reducing training burden and increasing adoption.
