Naidex winners
Following two days of voting by visitors and exhibitors, Mangar International has been deemed the most innovative disability product on show this year, and has been awarded the New Product of the Year Award following an awards presentation on the second day of Naidex 2010.
Renowned within the disability, homecare and rehabilitation industry for its widespread kudos, the Naidex New Product of the Year Award has again showcased the ‘best of the best'. The Mangar Back Saver was selected via an interactive voting station from the vast array of entered products in the New Product Gallery. This year, the record number of entries excelled in terms of design, quality and innovation.
“We are absolutely ecstatic to have won this prestigious award for the Back Saver commented Andrew Barker, Managing Director of Mangar International. The Back Saver is an innovative new product to help with getting a wheelchair into the boot of a car. Simply unroll the BackSaver, place the wheelchair on top and walk it into the boot using the hand holds. Reduces the weight required to lift by around 30%. Weight limit: 25kg
