Default Doff donner compression stocking applicator.
They say 1-handed people can use. The professional model video did nothing to convince me but video of 89 year old lady does. Anyone ever use?

I think it would depend on the mmHg of the stocking. My mom uses the highest compression that they make. I don't know if something like this would work with hers. I could see it working with a lower mmHg stocking.

Let us know if you get one and if it works well. I may suggest it to my mom as it takes her a long time to get those things on.

My GP has prescribed compression therapy, a bootie you put on and it inflates and deflates, mimicking walking. I'm in a chair 24/7 and liquids are pooling from inactivity. I have good insurance, GP thinks I'll get my own machine. Oh, they spoil us non-walkers.8-D

I've seen those on sale on Amazon. Not sure if they're the same quality as the ones you would get from a doctor's office/pharmacy tho.

Been kind of thinking of getting one of the ones from Amazon. I can still walk, if I have a walker to hold onto. Not sure how much longer that's going to last tho. It's been a bad month for me.
