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.

Easy to order, very fast delivery. The machine is easy to use. The only negative is that it doesn’t have a timer on it. Otherwise, very pleased.

I bought this after tibial plateau surgery, and it has been one of the best things I’ve had during my recovery.

The unit is very easy to use, and I love that it provides a very good level of compression that can be adjusted to whatever feels comfortable that day. The cold stays consistent for a long time, so I’m not constantly having to stop and refill ice.

The knee pad fits well and makes it easy to target the area around my surgery. My only complaint is that the rough velcro on the upper strap can dig into your leg as the compression tightens.

I’ve been using it every day and would definitely recommend it to anyone recovering from knee surgery!

This ice wrap was used after a meniscus root repair/patellofemoral chondroplasty surgery. If you are looking to use ice multiple times per day & want to avoid the mess of mainstream icepacks, this is what you want. I have three (one from hospital & 2X from here) to keep in rotation. They are amazing & so great for travel while healing as well. Could not say enough good things about this product as it gets super cold & the velcro latches are very secure. Perfect for knee surgery recovery !!

It seems to fit a line backer not a 139 pound tiny
woman!! It didnt work for me after surgery as it was enormous. A waste of
my money.

Already had machine with knee wrap. Bought the shoulder wrap and everything has worked perfectly. No getting up and freezing ice packs constantly.

I need to return this. It is way too big and bulky for my size. I am 5 foot one and I need something much more smoother than not so bulky but otherwise it looks like a very quality knee brace

They only fit the pad side, not the icebox side.

This unit is very effective in getting cold to the wrap around your limb. However, after only a few days this plastic snap between the hose and the wrap attachment had a little peace fall off and now we have to hold it together with tape. Otherwise, the unit works very well and is quite effective.

Absolutely love this cold Therapy machine. It’s the best. It’s very easy to use. And it really does its job. You can use it and then go back a couple hours later and it’s still in cold enough to use it again. It stays cold for several hours inside that insulated container. Love it Love it 😊

I had knee replacement surgery yesterday and have been using the cold therapy wave machine 40 minutes an hour during waking hours faithfully. Very nice product!

Great product. Would have been great when purchasing to be told you need a skin barrier. Purchased for post surgery and upon unpacking found out you need this, so lost a few days. Should at least recommend when buying. Other than that, easy to use and works great. Very quiet.

I ordered a product (hip ice pad attachment) and when it came I opened the plastic bag it came in, only to find the attachment is not compatible with my Berg ice machine. When I contacted customer service they told me since I opened the plastic bag it is not returnable. I opened the bag so I could see if the attachment fit. Now I’m out $85 for something I am unable to use. Worst customer support ever!

Works as advertised, I think it’s a perfect system for what I need

This was a replacement purchase because the first machine broke. There is a connector joint between the pad and the machine that broke. It was only one and 1/2 years old. It is a good product for icing, but very expensive to have to replace that shortly. The new machine had a different connecting joint. Maybe this was a design flaw?

Hello, They came and did not fit my DonJoy clear. I thought I read they would? So not worth the return mailing expense? Great idea to drain my pads, oh well. If you know of any one who could use them and just pay the mail cost let me know? I hate to see them go waste.

I've been using the Polar Care Wave on my recent knee replacement for about 6 weeks, at the recommendation of my surgeon, and it seems to have done well at reducing inflammation. The only problem is that the velcro closures have worn a spot where they grab the pad, and now they sometimes pop off during compression unless I put a hand on them and hold them in place. For $110 you would hope they would last longer.

I first used the cube polar system 10 years ago for my shoulder. An orthopedic surgeon recommended it and I love it. I’ve just recently had another injury with my wrist and learned that I could buy other pads that would work on the system. I got the hand wrist wrap, which worked perfectly. I highly recommend this system.

The cold and compression work great, but some things could be improved.

First, the new display is not great. You can’t see the setting lights during the daytime, so you really can’t see the time, pressure, or on/off setting. I have to cover the lights with my hand so I can actually see them. This new display seems much worse than the prior model.

Second, the unit lid is not that easy to close when filling with new ice or water. It’s gotten jammed and not closed properly on numerous occasions. It’s even harder to close (and open) if you’re putting frozen ice bottles in it (which is very common advice).

Overall it’s fine and gets the job done, but these two issues are annoying. It seems like they improved the unit compared to the prior generation, but I can’t confirm bc I’ve only owned this one.

Saves money on ice and makes refilling much more easy.

Although the machine is pricey it does work great. Staying cold through entire therapy session is wonderful and the compression feature is awesome. Have used it daily since receiving it to relieve pain and swelling in my knee at the end of the day from therapy.

I was skeptical so I waited too long to order this. I wish I had it to use right after surgery. I got it 2 weeks after surgery on my knee and this machine is a complete life saver. Will be ordering additional pads for shoulder of back!!

Had knee surgery. Friend had Iceman machine, I just needed to order the replacement pad.
It fit’s & works perfectly.

My husband got this wrap in the hospital after his knee replacement surgery. We have used it so much, and when we replaced it, we ordered the same exact wrap. My sister was visiting and was having some pain and swelling in her ankle and knee. We wrapped her ankle in the old wrap and her knee in the new wrap. She loved them so much, we ordered the knee and ankle wraps and had them sent to her.
