The cold and compression have been great. Able to get full day of cold with two ice replacement, once first thing in morning and again mid afternoon. Compression has helped with swelling.
Don't know why we haven't gotten one of these sooner. With two HS athletes and we arent' getting any older, this is a life saver and so much easier than ice bags.
I have been unable to sleep due to shoulder pain. Using this appliance at night has allowed the pain to be minimal enough to get a good 6 hours of sleep.
Easy to order, fast shipping and a total game changer for a total knee replacement. Compression was great and easy plenty cold.
I am using after knee replacement. Other family using for sports injuries. Excellent so far
This device, while paid for out-of-pocket, was worth every penny! After a full posterior hip replacement I cannot imagine how my recovery would have been had I not used the Breg throughout. It helps minimize post PT pain, occasional nerve pain at incision site, and keeps swelling under control. I would strongly recommend this machine to anyone who is undergoing joint replacement.
I had total shoulder replacement and this has been a constant companion absolutely love it it relieves the pain instantly lasts. I just could have never survived this recovery without it very easy to use The universal pad is so easy it lets me place it where I need it to be so easy to clean. It’s great.
Great machine, ice holding container needs to be changed often. I wish it could last 6 hours…. Last’s about 3. Otherwise it’s been very helpful for my pain and swelling
Love these products!! Have used the cold packs for the first time in 2022.
They work amazingly on hips, knees and breast cancer surgeries !
I've borrowed one before and used ice with it. This time I've tried the water bottle method and it doesn't seem to be as cold or lasting as long as with ice. I wish there were an easier way to drain the water from the tubes but otherwise, HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting one. I just had my ankle fused for the third time - different joint.
It was easy to order online! I got free shipping, which was great! And it order arrived in a timely manner! All is good.
After doing my knee replacement therapy, I look forward to getting that machine and the ice water going on my knee. I will be doing the other knee later and will have this machine all ready to go again!
I purchased the polar care wave machine after I had my two knee replacements. It is remarkable the way it takes down the swelling and makes me feel better. Ice packs just do not do the same! The sleeve on the Polar care wave fits completely around the knee so you're getting the front and the back and it is constant ice and you can use the compression if you want to. I could not rehab without it I highly recommend it!
This is actually a repalcement, I have had the IceMan for over 2 years. It has been a very well used and utilized. It has made it through 3 knee replacements and a reverse shoulder. Unfortunately we have hard water with lots of minerals so it was time to replace the wrap. I have had an excellent experience in the past, so this was my go to, they were prompt and exactly what I needed, I ordered this and the large shoulder wrap, just got another knee replacement in the family. I found the best price right here and received it quickly. Best Outcome;)
The Breg polar Care Cube and shoulder pad made recovery from my shoulder surgery tolerable. Customer Service was amazing.
Realized a few days before shoulder surgery that I only had a cold pad for a knee. Ordered it quickly, and even though I initially ordered the incorrect one for my unit, the company caught it and shipped immediately so I had it before surgery. What a relief. Couldn’t imagine surgery without this ice machine and the right pads.
These straps look to be well made and will be long enough to go around my leg and ice therapy pad. Pricing was good and shipping was quick. 4 stars only because I've not used them yet.
this is my second unit the first lasted since 2015. and the pump started giving out. the new one version 3 is every bit as good as the first. i have bad knees and spinal stenosis. the cold therapy is a must after a hard day at work. i am very pleased. the machine works as advertised and eases the pain and inflamation wherever o put the bladder.
