You can buy them here, http://www.physioneeds.biz/BrowseProducts.aspx?type=/8/130/

But I dont know why you would want to have one at home? Normally you only use them a few days after surgery to get the flexion back into the leg along with stretches. By the time your mum is leaving the hospital the CPM shouldn't really be needed anymore
