Ortho Bracing

I wish I purchased this item before my husband’s knee surgery. He’s 7 weeks post op, and really was doing relatively well. The swelling was the limiting factor for bending his leg. After 2 days of using the cold therapy system, the swelling was consistently down, providing improved range of motion.

Swelling is expected on and off depending on activity level for the next year to 1 1/2

My husband is 63, quite active, and healthy (no medical issues), this purchase just accelerated his rehabilitation.

My son had used the game ready machine professionals and athletes use. I googled similar products to Game ready machine and Breg came up.

Those machine is well built and works great. I researched a lot of machines before landing on this one and the big selling point was the compression feature. My rehab has been so much better after using this cold therapy machine.

The Polar Care Wave saved me after my total knee replacement. Just the right amount of compression with the cooling, which is distributed equally throughout. The machine is very easy to use. A must have for this or any surgery that would be appropriate.

I will be having total knee replacement surgery within the next few weeks, so purchased this after reading many reviews to help with my recovery. I'm using it now so that I can get used to it and to help with swelling on my knee before my surgery. I must say so far I love it! It is definitely helping already. Being an athlete, I'm looking much forward to getting back to my normal activities and will be purchasing some other pads for it as well to help with any discomforts that come along with exercise. I should have bought this years ago! I will have to update my opinion after my knee surgery. Also, as far as the machine itself, it is very quiet, is the perfect coldness and the compression is great! I use 4 frozen water bottles in mine and it lasts a very long time. I would recommend this product over an ice bag any day!!

Great machine to have for icing after surgery to repair my rotator cuff, torn labrum and ruptured bicep. Easy to place and secure shoulder pad around my shoulder, more challenging to affix pad around upper arm as my arm was constrained in a sling. Unit is well insulated so I didn't need to change ice frequently and it provided continual cooling for my icing sessions. Main cons, no on/off switch or timer so I had to be alert to plug and unplug the unit as needed. Somewhat frustrating as I was icing continually 20 mins. on, 20 off so couldn't doze while icing. I didn't think ahead to purchase a timer and switch as other users suggested.

Great product. The only complaint is that the motor runs really loud and tended to keep me awake at night.

Works really well and keeps ice frozen for longer than other units I’ve used

I had a flare up of plantar fasciiatis and heel pain and used the foot pad. It really helped relieve the pain a lot. Would have liked more coldness in the heel area but it worked. This machine has been a godsend with my husband's knee replacement and my foot problem. Highly recommend.

We purchased this machine over 10 years ago for knees. After using it on 4 knees, we now need a wrap for a shoulder replacement. We purchased the wrap and it works just as good as the other one. It really is a good machine, works great .

I previously mentioned incorrectly that I had purchased the Breg Polar, when in fact it is the Breg Cube. This is the simplest in the lineup and works great.

After my rotator cuff surgery, the Breg Polar was so easy to use! Provides circulating cold water that helped reduce the post-operative pain and swelling. Very solid construction, allowed me to not need pain medication at all for the immediate postoperative recovery. This is simple with no frills, and in my opinion the best value for your money. I will be adding a knee pad for an upcoming surgery at the end of this year.

Just has surgery yesterday and have been using the cube in recovery and post operative care. I do believe that the swelling in not too bad and pain when resting is actually a zero. As the medications are wearing off now that I am 24 hours post hip replacement I am more sore but so far have only needed 1 pain pill above the NSAID’s. Nurses used this model in the hospital so they were able to handle the filling and running of the machine .

We purchased the product with the hip pad for my husband's hip replacement surgery.
Only shortcoming was that a timer is not part of the product. Purchased a timer from Home Depot, it cycled through the night with no issues.
We had an issue with the power supply unit, which was replaced very quickly.
Excellent support.
100% satisfied. Thanks

I used this brace on a skiing trip just two weeks after a partial dislocation and it was worth every penny. The included straps did wonders for providing additional directional support. I don't think I would have been able to have such an enjoyable skiing experience without the confidence afforded to me by this brace. Hands down the best brace I've ever used.

I'm 5'10", 160lbs and the Medium size fit great.
