I ordered a week before knee surgery and placed my order late in the afternoon. I called the customer service desk and the nicest lady rushed the order so that the Polar Care Glacier was out the door Friday evening. I also bought the multi-use pad which shipped to CA in 2 days. My Cold Therapy is a great vendor. Lots of good video content. I would recommend to anybody and those looking at the Amazon knock-offs. Don't bother. The Polar Care Glacier pads, cooler, hose attachments are highly engineered and work without any issues. No water issues, no leaks. Thank you MCT.
Best functional pad to utilize with the ice machine. Both are of the highest standards and I highly recommend
With the cold therapy universal device I can reduce the need for medication after a knee surgery. The pain relief is like a gift from heaven.
I learned to use one while I was in Clear Sky rehabilitation. hospital in Killeen. My therapist had seen them on the shelf. She made sure I had one in my room. The only problem was the night crew had never seen one. together we learned how it worked. by the next day the whole staff knew how to use one. When I taught school I called that form of equipment delivery the "parachute drop effect", deliver the equipment without training on use. This was one of the problems with education. Spend the money on the latest teaching materials but do not teach the teachers how to implement the material into your lesson plans to get the students excited about learning while having fun.
I guarantee anyone who buys this will be more than satisfied. I've been dealing with knee problems/Arthritis, for a year, very painful. bags of ice leaking all over blah blah blah, No more. Not only does it evenly cool my knee all around. The pain is gone.It's a game changer. money well spent. Sincerely Patrick Wendling
This is the fourth cool cuff system I've used since injuring my shoulder in a lifting accident.
The Glacier is the quietest motor while running. The cooler keeps the water / ice combo the coldest and longest. I've been using 7 small (8 oz) water bottles, frozen, then filling the ice to the very top, finally filling it with tepid water. This setup can last up to 12 hours running continuously.
Now, onto suggested improvements. The cuff- let's think this thru please. We have a cuff being placed onto an injured shoulder. It's almost impossible to wrap the smaller section around the biceps/ tricep without being a contortionist. Perhaps having a snap option or a cuff to slide your arm into?!?
The longer elastic wrap for then shoulder joint itself is a good thought... until the Velcro section gets caught on something as you twist you body to get it into position. Add it having to wear this cuff in conjunction, and you wind up having to remove everything and start all over. Either make specific sizing that can be snapped around the shoulder, or anticipate ongoing complaints.
Lastly- the tubing has to be in a very finicky position to get cold water instilled into the cuff. That's aggravating when you're already in pain or postop and fighting to get the cold therapy into action.
Got this for foot knees and shoulder. The coolness is wonderful! So much better than making ice
Very nice to have all the bags already frozen to swap out into the Cube! Perfect size and fits inside the Cube very well!
I had a knee replacement done a couple of weeks ago and Breg unit has made the recovery so much easier. The surgery center wanted "rent" me a cold compression unit for $450.00 for 2 weeks and an additional $125 a week after that. No Thank You , The Breg was around $300 and I can use anytime I need to
This is our second cold cube. The first one lasted eight years through three shoulder surgeries, two knee replacements and was longed to a couple of friends for their procedures. More than worth the price.
Wasna great experience working with this company item was perfect
Back, Neck, Knee issues I always go to your ice pack for relief.
They also make great gifts.
Thank you for such a quality product.

Great concept. At first my husband was buying bags of ice for my shoulder surgery which was inconvenient and starting to get expensive. Hadn’t seen these before so we bought a small case of water bottles to freeze and interchange. I guess we’ll keep with the water bottles since we already have them.
This hip wrap was easy to put on and stayed secured in place with the velcro strap. I used it after a full hip replacement surgery when I went to sleep at night. The ice packs lasted about 4 hours for me. While that didn't get me all through the night, I was able to keep up the post-surgical ice therapy overnight and get needed sleep.
Don't ever have knee replacement without this system! It is a lifesaver! This is an essential part of your recovery! Don't try recovery without it!
My cold therapy had the part that I needed for my Breg wave ice machine where others did not. Product arrived one day earlier than originally scheduled.
Purchased to help with swelling from my broken ankle. I am sure that it will come in quite handy during PT time and walking recovery. So nice to not have to get up and down to get ice packs out of the freezer, especially when you have to be non weight bearing! Makes my life at the moment a whole lot easier!
I had to order a new power supply and took the opportunity to also order the ankle cuff. Between the cold and the compression it's perfect for a severely sprained ankle.
The Breg unit had been stored for about a year. After a severely twisted ankle, we plugged in the unit, the lights flashed once and then nothing. I checked the power supply with a multimeter and saw it was defective. Called My Cold Therapy and they were able to overnight me a replacement. This unit is working again!
These are ice packs I wised in the hospital post surgery. I just ordered another set to have at home as I’m currently using one now in the hospital. They are really helpful! The ice pillow pads make a huge difference keeping them cold
Thank you!
Easy to setup and run. My only complaint is that in order to start/stop the unit you need to plug/unplug the power supply connection. It would be nice to have a little toggle switch to start/stop the unit.
This little system exceeded my expectations. It provides consistent, lay-flat cold treatment for the entire shoulder joint. It is quiet when operating. Easy set-up.
