Retail medic. supply: A local retail medical supply store should sell those, but a prescription may be needed, unless the last hose was bought at the same store and they are willing to sell another like a "refill." If a prescription is needed, one can call the prior prescribing doctor for one. Consumer pharmacies like Walgreens or RiteAid may or may not have medical-grade compression hose, but one can always ask.
