The Breg Polar Care Cube Multi-Use XL Pad is an excellent option for those looking for effective cold therapy on the hip. Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide to ensure you get the most out of your cold therapy session safely and comfortably.
Step 1: Confirm Your Pad Type and Connectors
Begin by checking the front right corner of your pad for the part number. This ensures you’re using the correct pad for your Cube or Kodiak system. It’s essential to make sure all connectors match since different models have unique attachment points.
Step 2: Apply Skin Protection
Always protect your skin! Cold therapy can potentially cause frostbite, so never place the pad directly on bare skin. Use a sterile dressing or a thin towel to create a barrier. If you need sterile dressings, they’re available on our website.
Step 3: Prepare and Apply the Pad
- Open the sealed dressing package and remove the tabs to expose the adhesive.
- Place the adhesive dressing firmly onto the pad.
- Place the pad over your hip, securing it with the long and short straps for a snug fit.
This XL pad is ideal for those who find the hip-specific pad too large or if you prefer a slightly extended hose length for more flexibility.
Step 4: Attach and Start Your Therapy
Press down on the metal tabs before connecting the hoses. A “click” indicates a secure connection. Once connected, turn on your system, and you’re ready to start therapy.
Bonus Tip: Simplify Ice Rotation
To avoid running out of ice, consider using freeze bags. Fill multiple bags and keep extras in the freezer. This rotation method saves time and makes solo therapy sessions easier.
By following these steps, you’ll have a smooth, effective experience with the Breg Polar Care Cube Multi-Use XL Pad.
