The CAMEL by Mangar International, is an inatable
lifting device which is designed to sit up and lift a fallen
person from the oor. When inated, the CAMEL lifts
the patient into a raised seated position ready to stand
with or without assistance.
This equipment may be used with or without a helper
as required.
The CAMEL is powered by a Mangar International
Airo Compressor and controlled using a CAMEL Hand
Control. Please refer to the separate Airo compressor
instructions before operating.
