It functions exactly as expected. I’ve had two major foot injuries, and the ankle/foot pad helped significantly with pain relief and recovery.
I haven't used these yet but if they are anything like my old ones, I'm sure I will love them!
My dog chewed a hole in my polar pad and had to order a replacement. Unit works great and helps inflammation.
I e filled the bags with filtered water then froze them I did try them in the polar care cube. I could feel the cold once it went through the shoulder pad. Will use with the back bad after fusion.
I haven’t had a chance to use this yet. I’ve used other products from Bregg and it helped with the shoulder pain after surgery. SI Joint fusion is scheduled for the 21st will use back pad then.
Used this after rotator cuff surgery. Was wonderful not having to deal with melting ice. Worked very well!
Works perfect for after a total knee replacement. My neighbor had one and I was using hers and I decided when I had my other knee replaced to buy one. It's a lifesaver.
I have had knee issues all my life (ACL and medial meniscus tears in both), and most recently have been having issues with my medial meniscus in my left knee. I've worn numerous different braces, but for golf (left knee is my back leg since I'm left handed), I wanted something that would take my fear of twisting while also being lightweight and comfortable for extended periods of time. I've worn this brace a few times now, and honestly have forgotten it is on at times. The offloading tech seems to be making a big difference in my confidence so far. Love it!
We were having to refill the ice twice a day using bags of ice. But these refreezeable ice packs make it much more convenient. I also appreciate that they are basically heavy duty zip lock bags, that we fill with tap water, so we can drain, dry, and store them with the machine when not needed. Clever.
The Breg works great. The compression and cold therapy settings are easy to use. The unit can easily take ice cubes or frozen water bags. The missing feature is an auto off timer. Being able to run it for 20 minutes (for example) would eliminate the need to set an alarm to turn it off. Very useful at night when it is difficult to even fall asleep postoperatively.
I bought this product with ice bags what a game changer in the rehab able to work the joint than cool it !!!’n
I'm now two weeks post-op from my second total knee replacement and am sleeping so much better after my second surgery than my first as I'm using my SMI cold therapy ice packs instead of the circulating ice water cooler! My gel packs stay cold for four hours and stay in place even if I move while sleeping, the cooler hose and pad did not give me that freedom. As well it is very easy to just swap out my gel packs for two from the freezer in the middle of the night, versus having to empty the cooler and refill it with fresh ice again. So grateful my hospital, University of Florida Leesburg, discharged me with SMI cold therapy gel packs. I'll be a customer for life!
I had to replace my hip pad after having it for years. I was so excited that they still had the pad that I needed.
This product works excellently. It allows you to ice the affected area completely. It will be much easier to get the cold pad into place with a helper, and also get ice for the machine, so keep that in mind.
I just had rotator cuff surgery last week. Icing is a very necessary part of my healing so i purchased a shoulder attachment to go with my Beeg polar care cube.it works quickly and very effectively all except attaching the two hoses together. I am not to be pushing or pulling my arm but I couldn’t get the two hoses attached or detached without someone helping. I Al alone most of the day so I’ve had to figure out how to do this. I use my teeth to disconnect and to connect I have to press it against a hard surface with my good arm. This doesn’t always work and is very frustrating.
