    Try googling it - I don't know if anything will come up, but it should, shouldn't it? If hospitals can get them then there must be suppliers somewhere. DD

    I was told to be careful what i buy. Because a lot of people are selling Thinsulate gloves as Isotope Gloves, I guess ill have to wait for The Hospital..


    Thanks for trying

    I bet they were neoprene - did they feel like that? My mum bought me two pairs of 'therapy gloves' which are utterly useless for my version of this rubbish but I guess she thought she was helping. DD

    You're welcome my King, lol..
    Really hope you manage to find some, what are they by the way? As in, what help/comfort do they bring?
