I had a cold therapy machine from years ago. I Needed it again for my recent surgery on my knee however my leaked. I called the company and in 2 days I had my new cord. It now works just fine. Thank you Mycoldtharapy!
Right reverse shoulder replacement in March, left shoulder in November. This machine helped me survive those first few weeks immediately following the surgeries. Highly recommend.
Purchased the shoulder cuff to help w/ my reconstruction surgery recovery. Great investment!
Pros:
• Comfy to sit & sleep with.
• Easy to set up & use w/ help.
• Ice/water stays cold in cooler over night.
Cons:
• Cooler motor is a bit loud if close by.
• No timer to set the treatment…Set to 45sec on/30sec off. Would be better for me if it was 60/30 or a manual timer.
With teenage athletes at home, I will be looking to add the knee & ankle cuffs in the future.
The device always worked and was easy to use. It reduced a lot of the the pain I felt in the first few days after my knee replacement. Thanks!
I had no issues with purchase make sure you buy the adapter needed for your surgery. Specifically it came super quickly, and I live in a remote mountain. Town. I used it everyday
A few weeks out from a difficult trial knee replacement. I have three methods of icing and my primary care physician recommended you. Oh my goodness. It’s the best ever. The perfect cold to help my knee.
I was hesitant to order from this website. I got all of my order. Everything got here early and I was able to change my shipping address via email. I love my breg machine
Aircast Cryo for the shoulder has been excellent and easy to work. Keeps ice for a long time and gives relief. Order was filled promptly and exactly as described
We purchased the Breg Polar Care Wave for my wife's post surgery care - knee revision. The Polar care is easy to use and very quiet! Would recommend this product to anyone needing cold compression care.
So easy and convenient for post op recovery. Really is a game changer. Takes a couple tries to get it fitted just right. But, once you find what works best for your situation all that’s left is changing the ice every couple hours depending how cold you want the ice pack to be. Found that pellet ice gets the coldest results. We have the ice pouches too. They are definitely convenient. However, didn’t get the water quite cold enough to be effective with the bulky dressings covering the incisions. Will probably use the pouches once the dressings are removed.
Best purchase we’ve made in quite a while.
Just had my TNR yesterday. I’m scheduled to leave the hospital any time now. So as you can imagine I have not used it yet. Everything came nicely packaged and is of high quality. My brother who just had his second TKR one month ago recommended that I purchase one before I got mine done. He told me that the unit is a life saver and that he even used it post replacements on both knees. I’m certain that I have the same excellent review.
Thank you
I’ve used the Breg Kodiak Polar Care in the past after knee surgery. I loved it so much. I shared it with a friend 3 more times and then used it for my daughter’s elbow surgery. It finally quit working, despite trying to repair it and trying a new connector. I believe the pump was not as efficient as it would not maintain a cold infusion. I just had to order another for my shoulder surgery because it works that good. Absolutely recommend this product!!
I was introduced to SMI cold therapy cold packs and pouch while I was in the hospital having a hip replacement. The first thing I noticed is that they hold their cold for several hours, far longer than any other cold pack I have ever used. I even went so far as to purchase 4 more cold packs with pillows so I can keep them in rotation in the freezer. The packs don't sweat and they wick away moisture from your skin. So you can actually have the cold pack directly against your skin. I'm hooked! We tossed out all our other cold packs and replaced them with SMI cold packs. We love these products!!
Someone lent me the Cube as I am recovering from Knee surgery. I like it a lot, but thought I'd get the Wave as it offers compression. While the Wave has great compression you give up a great deal of cold to have it. And the cold isn't dispersed though the entire pad. Just seems to have a few targeted spots. In the end, I wish I had bought the Cube.
