I needed to pull my CryoCast unit from storage due to an injury and found the pump/lid was malfunctioning due to age and use. I ordered a replacement with expedited delivery. In my rural area, next day is not always an option on Saturday. The folks at My Cold Therapy made it happen, and I was happily icing my foot into recovery. Thanks! They are an organization committed to delivery.
I've only had the ice machine a few days. So far so good! The intermittent compression is great. The cold water that circulates through the knee pad is nice, but not nearly as cold as an ice pack. However, since it isn't quite as cold, I can keep it on longer without discomfort. Portability: The machine has a handle that makes it easy to carry, but it might be a bit awkward for someone on a walker or cane after knee surgery. I bought the reusable ice bags. They are ok but don't fit nicely into the reservoir. If standing, they are too tall. I've tried different methods and they just don't fit well. I used the knee wrap over jeans and I'm going to try a thinner fabric to see if it is colder.
Amazing product. I have been using this product since 2014. Today I received a replacement cuff and new tubing works excellent as usual. Thank you 😊
I used a borrowed Breg when I had my knee replaced earlier this year. It was easy to use, quiet and comfortable. I have just had my shoulder replaced and I opted to buy my own Breg! So far so good and an an again/off again course if cold therapy and there is very little swelling. Highly recommend, just wish they came with a timer cycle!
Efficient, effective and easy to use. Just purchased our third cube over the past 8 years. Have enjoyed being able to lend them out regularly to friends & family, as well as using it ourselves for shoulder and knee surgery rehabs.
I was aware when I saw the two different Gravity Cold Therapy that one used power and the other one didn’t I just purchased the wrong one with out power so I really can’t leave a honest review because I never used it! But I have used a power cold therapy in the past and they are a very much needed tool for a good recovery!!
If you are thinking about using a cold water therapy I strongly advise getting the electrical one for a consistent run of cold water therapy!
Thanks for your review! We can easily get you what you need to make yours motorized! Please call us @ 704-953-2545. Thanks so much!
I bought the 12 pack, filled each one with water and put them in the freezer the day before surgery. They last a day and only have to be replaced every morning. This option is so much better than dealing with ice cubes and less messy. I ice my shoulder 4 times a day and do not have to replace the ice packs until the next morning. I highly recommend getting these ice freeze bags!
I love my Cube! It’s so easy to use even with one hand/arm and I am a 76 year old woman! I can easily carry it with one hand when filled with the ice packs and water which I need to do only once a day. It’s easy to empty and refill and I highly recommend it. The shoulder pad is simple to put on with a little help, but watching the video ahead of time was beneficial.
I lost my power cable for my iceman. I first ordered the wrong one (2.5 volt), mia culpa.
I called and left a message on the CS line.
I got a call back a couple days later. Very nice man who helped me with the correct item number.
I ordered the new one and it worked!
Yay!
PS, the iceman and its 12 volt system, along with very well-designed attachments. is much better than the competitor.
They all leaked from day one through the Ziploc top
I was able to get them to work, but you have to leave them standing up and then it’s difficult to fit the pump between them
Even then, one of them is already started leaking from the bottom so if you put them in your freezer, put them in a pan or a bucket or you’ll have a mess to clean up
I recommend to practice before surgery to be able to get quick relief. We are still trying to figure out how best to attach the ice pad to my shoulder. I guess we did it correctly. I used 2 icebags and I think that I could have used more to make it colder.
But as of now, I do not regret the purchase.
Was under impression that the compressor cord came with it but since it didn’t I need to return it and pay for returning it plus $27 dollar restocking fee
Hi there, we're sorry for any confusion. There is a non-motorized version (Gravity) whihc is the cersion you purchased and there is a motorized version (Cryo). We can easily just charge the difference and get you the motorized version. Please reach out to our customer service team @ 704-953-2545.
I just got out of shoulder surgery. This thing is outstanding. Cools my shoulder off on top of my sweater and my braces. I wish I had bought one years ago.
I was very happy with the purchase of my Breg Kodiak cold therapy knee pad. It was delivered in a timely manner and works great.
The machine already came with 8 so it has been nice to have an additional 8 in the rotation.
I was given a pair of these after surgery to go under my brace but found myself in need of a few more. Ordered these and they were a perfect match to what I already had!
I wouldn’t say you need to size down - I would just recommend sizing realistically. These are meant to have compression, so don’t expect them so go on easily (or at all, when wet!)
The Breg Wave Cold Compression Therapy system has been a lifesaver for my total knee replacement rehabilitation. Way easier than dealing with messy bags of ice that melt quickly. Temperatures and compression levels are consistent and more effective.
My only concern is that in addition to the shoulder pad XL that I ordered, I also ordered the sterile pad that goes directly on the shoulder to prevent frostbite, etc. The packaging for this pad was very "roughed up". I did not see a breach in the sterile packaging, but coming from the medical field, I am concerned that the surgicenter will not apply it based on how damaged the sterile packaging appears. Actually, I would like it to be replaced.
