My elderly monther was recently in the hospital. While there, they put these cuffs on her legs that inflated and deflated. I guess they are used to help leg circulation in bed ridden patients. My mother who is a diabetic has terrible leg pain, but these cuffs really helped. The problem is I don't know where to buy them. I have tried a couple of the medical supply retailers in my area, but they don't carry them. Any help would be appreciated.

Call the hosptial where your mother stayed, ask to talk to the person in charge of supplies for the hospital and ask them who their supplier is. You may not be able to get one tho, as a good many of these machines have adjustable pressure gradient settings, and it does take some medical knowledge and training to use them safely. You can also check with her doctor, who may be able to order it for you and train you in it's use, but be ready, it will be expensive.
