An inflatable lifting cushion is a portable emergency lifting device designed to safely raise an individual from the floor following a fall, helping them return to a seated or standing position without the need for manual lifting. Using a battery-powered air compressor, the cushion inflates in stages to provide a controlled, stable and dignified lift, significantly reducing the risk of injury to both the individual and those assisting them.
This type of lifting device is particularly beneficial for older adults, people with neurological conditions, reduced mobility or anyone at increased risk of falls. It can often help avoid unnecessary ambulance call-outs where no injury has occurred and allows individuals to remain safely at home following an assessment.
Following an independent Occupational Therapy assessment, Adapt OT can determine whether an inflatable lifting cushion is the most appropriate falls management solution, taking into account the individual’s mobility, falls risk and home environment.
