THE CAMEL IS SHORTLISTED FOR PRODUCT AWARD AT NAIDEX 2006
Mangar International's newest product, The CAMEL, has been shortlisted for the New Product of the Year Award at this year's Naidex to be held at the NEC on 25-27 April. This follows the product's successful launch to the North American market at Medtrade last autumn where it won the Providers Choice Award (Best Optimal Use of Technology). Mangar International is the first British company to have achieved this accolade.
'We are very excited about the potential of this product, and delighted to have been chosen as a finalist for this year's New Product of the Year Award at Naidex', said Marketing Manager Andrew Macphail. 'We are all looking forward to the exhibition - it is a perfect platform to launch The CAMEL to both healthcare professionals and the general public.'
With a weight lifting capacity of 50 stone (320kg) The CAMEL is the perfect solution for lifting very large and bariatric persons. The CAMEL will minimise the risks associated with moving and handling for both carer and client, potentially reducing the costs of lost staff time as a result of personal injury. Lightweight (rolls up into sports bag size for easy portability), and suitable for independent use, The CAMEL will support both the lives of those prone to falling and their helpers, restoring the dignity and freedom to which all are entitled.
The CAMEL is the latest addition to Mangar International’s increasingly comprehensive range of safe portable patient moving and handling equipment. The company is proud to boast a considerable number of previous awards for their innovative designs.
The CAMEL was first shown in the U.K. at the Moving & Handling People Conference at Islington last month.
