About pelican manufacturing
Our aim is to offer Patients a high level of dignity, safety and well-being, as well as helping make the Carers’ role easier and safer. Pelican Manufacturing was established in 1987 to provide selected pressure care items for geriatric Patients in nursing homes and hospitals. Since then we have grown and developed into an industry-leading nursing goods supplier, offering a wide and thorough range of products including manual handling, pressure care, hoist slings, theatre & post-operative care, patient dignity, aids to daily living, restraints, safety items, evacuation, fire & rescue
items, physiotherapy items, medical devices, and medical and healthcare supplies. Many items in the Pelican range have been developed following customers’ suggestions or concerns regarding aspects of health care. If you cannot see what you are looking for on our website, please contact us to discuss the query. Chances are if you are having a particular problem in a certain area, then other people are probably having exactly the same problem.
The Pelican Fable
There is a fable that the pelican is the nursing or caring bird. The story is that the red mark at the end of the mother pelican’s beak is a blood stain, left after the she had plucked her chest to feed the young on her blood when food was scarce. In reality, the red mark may be due to a hormone change, however this sentiment of caring is appropriate as our objective is to help Patients and Staff. When we develop our products, we consider Patients’ care and dignity, as well as safety and occupational health. This is why when you see the Pelican logo, it represents the care that has gone into designing and manufacturing every item we make.
