Is getting into bed a challenge? The Mangar Leg Lifter is your answer to maintaining independent living! This amazing portable bedside device allows the user to quickly and easily raise their legs to the same level as the bed mattress. This inflatable rectangular cushion provides essential assistance to lift and transfer the user's legs into bed independently or with minimal moving and handling risk to the carer. The Leglifter fits the majority of standard and profiling beds.
How It Works: This Leg Lifter has three components — an Airflo compressor, a remote hand control that connects to the compressor, and a large inflatable pillow that fastens on the right or left side of the bed frame underneath the mattress. The inflatable portion connects to the Airflo power source with an air hose and is operated by low air pressure. The user sits on the side of the bed with his or her feet on or near the ground and uses the remote control to inflate the Leg Lifter. As it inflates, the Leg Lifter will raise the person's legs. When fully inflated, the mobility aid will extend vertically so that the user's legs slide onto the mattress. The inflatable portion of the Leg Lifter has a fabric cover (included) and it has two straps to secure it to the bed.
