Great machine!! My husband would not be able to handle his knee replacement recovery without it
I love the intense cold coverage from this system. It’s so much better than ice packs/gel pads. It is best to store the pads flat to prevent damaging the plastic lining and causing leaks. Don’t try to roll or fold them up small. These pads conform to my anatomy, making it more effective and easy to keep in place. It quickly eliminates the need for pain meds. While the wide elastic bands allow custom fit, it can be a bit tricky getting the pads secured in place with just one hand. So I leave it on for the day and just disconnect from power between sessions. Likewise, the snap tight lid of my 3 yr old unit is a challenge to open single handedly because the unit has no significant lip to apply pressure against when needing to change out ice. I use small frozen water bottles sitting in distilled water, rather than ice cubes, to make the whole changing ice process easier. After the first day’s use, it became clear that it was a must have for the future times, too.
Works great. Instructions from the manufacturer for the shoulder cuff are terrible. Once I figured it out, easy to use. Past use was for knee replacement. Customer service is outstanding. Highly recommended.
Pad arrived quickly. Good service over the phone. Product works well. Very difficult to put on alone. The over the shoulder portion should be curved to fit the shoulder better. My husband struggles to attach the hose. I back it up with the wrap given to us by the hospital so I can move about the house and not be tied to a machine
Thanks for your honest review Susan! we understand that applying the shoulder pad may be difficult. We have a video library where we demonstrate how to apply the shoulder pad by yourself. We have included a link below. Thank you!

We had used the Breg Cold Therapy system on both of my wife's knee replacements with awesome results. When she recently injured her shoulder I ordered the shoulder cold therapy pad and it has worked great!! It has helped tremendously with the swelling in her arm and she says it is so very soothing at night.
We highly recommend the Breg Cold Therapy system!!
These bags have been a lifesaver in my knee replacement recover. It’s been so easy to swap out for frozen bags into my Breg polar care wave ice macine. I have been using them 24/7 and it has helped speed up my recovery.
This machine is a game changer. Cold shoulder is what the doc ordered and my CTM delivers exactly that. Easy to out in with one hand/arm or with spousal help. Holds plenty of water and I use 4 12 oz water bottles rotating in and out of the freezer. Easy to operate and very effective!!!
These were exactly what I needed.. Item shipped quickly and came on time.. Very good communication and exceptionally great price..
I started using this product 4 weeks after my surgery. I like the convenience of having cold therapy up to 6 hours. Not as easy as just grabbing an ice pack but it stays cold the entire 20 minutes. I would have given 5 stars but I can’t get the sterile pack(sold out).
I have an older machine about 13 years old dint think I would find the part that I need for it. Wow I find it here so happy and it is the same one that I had. Works great too and supper fast delivery.
The iceman is for pain relief after a knee replacement. It greatly helps the swelling. This is the fourth time I have used one for joint replacements. I would recommend this machine to anyone having joint replacements 😊
I’ve been using this machine for the last three days following shoulder surgery. I wish I’d known about it sooner because it is awesome, easy to use and set up. I will never go back to using ice packs again. 
I ordered a replacement pad for an ice machine I am using for therapy after knee surgery. I am very happy with how well this works. Keeps consistent cold for many hours.
10 x better than Bret cube. Almost as good as Game Ready (use at my PT office) which cost 10x more. Highly recommended!!!
I am glade to have the breg cold block and I was able to purchase the ankle wrap. It works great
The ordering process was easy and shipping was very fast and it arrived before the promised date. The product was exactly what was ordered and I am looking forward to using it as part of my post-surgery recovery.
This is the third one I've purchased. One for my left shoulder, one for my wife's knee and one for my daughter-in-law's left shoulder. The reason we had to purchase new ones is that we lent ours out so many times that they got damaged or worn out. The relief and comfort that the Aircast system delivers is just phenomenal. Always a soothing cool for inflamed areas, not too cold to handle. I highly recommend this unit for anyone after surgery rehabilitation.
Excellent product. Easy to use and really adding the swelling on my achilles, ankle and foot. I would highly recommend it.
