The Elk cushion folds to a compact size for easy storage and transport. When needed, it inflates rapidly to lift a fallen person into a seated posture. This reduces caregiver strain and speeds post‑fall recovery.

Only one caregiver is required to operate the cushion, thanks to its simple button‑press inflation. This feature is especially useful in settings with limited staff, such as home care or small residential units. It also lowers the risk of caregiver injury during patient handling.

The cushion supports up to 450 kg (approximately 70 stone), covering a wide range of body types. Its robust construction makes it suitable for spinal cord injury, post‑surgical, and elderly populations. The high safe‑working load ensures confidence for clinicians prescribing the device.

A built‑in rechargeable battery powers the Airflo compressor, eliminating the need for external power sources during use. Multiple lifts can be performed on a single charge, enhancing reliability in emergencies. The cordless design also allows use in outdoor or remote environments.
