Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Compression Therapy System

The Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Therapy System is part of the third generation of cold compression system products that deliver cold therapy through anatomic wraps while also providing compression, which has been clinically proven to decrease narcotic use post-operatively.¹

The Breg Polar Care Wave cold therapy system is a motorized cold therapy machine housed in a simple, quiet, and compact unit with various anatomic pads such as knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, universal, and back. The Breg Polar Care Wave cold therapy system combines motorized cold therapy with active compression in a simple and compact system, making it ideal for facility and home use. The Breg Polar Care Wave cold therapy system is easily transported from the hospital, physical therapy clinic, or athletic training room to the patient’s home, extending the benefits of cold and compression.

This is the highest-end cold therapy product on the market in its price category. A comparable system you should google is "Gameready" to best understand the value you are receiving with this cold therapy unit. Gameready is a great device and nearly 10x the cost. The Breg Polar Care Wave cold therapy system delivers a great value for the clinical benefit.

If you are a patient having bilateral total knee arthroplasty, consider a y-connector and a second knee pad so you can ice both knees at the same time.

The Breg Polar Care Wave Cold System is intended to treat post-surgical and acute injuries to reduce edema, swelling, and pain where cold and compression are indicated.

Warranty: Manufacturers warranty is 6 months on the cooler and pads.

THE BREG POLAR CARE WAVE COLD AND COMPRESSION UNIT: A COMPLETE REVIEW

Since as far back as 3500 BC, healthcare professionals have used ice in the care of traumatic injuries–taking advantage of its unique ability to reduce pain and swelling in trauma-affected areas.

The science behind the innovative Breg Polar Care Wave draws not only on this exalted history of ice in healthcare but also the extensive body of contemporary research into cold therapy. Except this nifty machine goes one step further: it takes cold treatment out of the clinic and into a home setting.

Are you looking for at-home cold therapy? We explore the pros and cons of the Breg Polar Care Wave in the article below.

BREG POLAR CARE WAVE: PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Doctors and physiotherapists often advise cold therapy to relieve the pain associated with sports injuries, certain surgeries, or the onset of a chronic pain episode. It’s even been shown to decrease the need for narcotics following surgery.

Bregs cold therapy units regulate the flow of ice-cold water into a pad that a clinician or patient can apply to the treatment area. Sure, you could simply fill a rubber water bottle with ice, but that won’t provide the consistently chilled water you need to see long-lasting benefits.

The difference withan innovative machine like the Breg Polar Wave Care System lies in the combination of cold therapy and compression and the fact that it’s designed for home use. The addition of a compression pad helps treat surgical or acute injury symptoms like pain, edema, and swelling. Not only can this hospital-grade unit be used by healthcare professionals, but it can also be used by athletes in training situations and by patients at home.

So what's included in this product? Some crucial Breg Polar Care Wave product features to take note of include:

Cooler with tubing, lid, and air pumpCold-compression padPower supplySimple usage systemHandle for portability

The compressions pads that come with the unit offer multiple configurations to suit any body type or injury position.

Who Is the Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Therapy System Meant For?

If you’re stuck on the couch or in a hospital bed nursing an injury or recovering from surgery, then Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Therapy System is a likely treatment for you. In fact, your physician has probably already suggested icing the area in question. It’s a proven therapy method used by health practitioners the world over.

The Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Therapy System is helpful in all medical settings, from large, busy city hospitals and rehabilitation clinics to small private clinics with just a handful of therapists. But where it really shines is at home. Due to the unit’s ease of use and portable design, it can be carried to and set up almost anywhere–taking Netflix and chill to a whole new level.

Given the pad configurations available with this versatile Breg cold therapy system is best suited to use on the knees or shoulders. Still, patients could adapt it for ankle, foot, hip, or back injuries if needed.

BREG POLAR CARE WAVE: ACCESSORIES

From Breg ice bags (which are much easier to use than ice cubes) to the innovative Y-Adaptor for bilateral total knee replacement surgeries, Breghas you covered when it comes to getting the most out of your new Polar Care Wave.

And while the Polar Care Wave comes with the Breg universal cold compression pad, Breg also offers an entire family of pads to meet individual treatment needs. Depending on your injury’s location, you can get specialized knee, hip, back, and shoulder pads tailored to that body part’s specific contours.

How To Use the Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Therapy System

Any good review of the Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Therapy System wouldn’t be complete without a how-to. Although this machine is so easy to use, it doesn’t need much explanation.

The basic steps are:

• Fill the cooler with ice and water

• Attach the hose to the cooler

• Snap-lock the hose to the compression pad

• Wrap the pad around your body part

• Adjust the level of cold and compression

Once you press start, you’ll feel pressure at regular intervals along with therapeutic cold from the ice water constantly flowing through the pad.

If you’re a visual learner,watch this 10-minute-long video to see the Breg Polar Care Wave in action.

Like most cold therapy units, the Breg Polar Care Wave needs to be plugged into the wall to work. And remember, don’t exceed the recommended time limits for cold therapy from your physician. It could result in tissue damage. For these reasons, experts do not advise using cold therapy pads while sleeping.

Pro-tip: If you’re worried about falling asleep while using a Breg cold therapy machine, hook it up to a timer, such as those used for decorative string lights.

Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Therapy System: FAQs

Is Breg Cold Compression Therapy Useful For Me?

Your Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Therapy System was prescribed to you for treatment following surgery or physical injury. That’s because cold therapy reduces swelling, edema, and pain in the problem areas–especially in combination with compression as offered by the Polar Wave Care unit. Use it to help you recover faster.

Is a Cold Therapy Unit Worth the Money?

Cold therapy has been proven to help control pain, diminish inflammation, and get the joints moving again. Numerous clinical studies show that patients get even more significant benefits when cold therapy is combined with compression.

A system like Polar Care Wave, which combines cold therapy with compression in one easy-to-use, portable unit, can speed up recovery time. Think of it as an investment in your journey back to good health.

Best of all, all cold therapy products sold by Ortho Bracing have a minimum 30-day warranty.

Will My Insurance Cover a Cold Therapy Unit?

In most instances, insurance policies do not cover cold therapy and compression machines like Polar Care Wave. But it’s always worth checking with your insurance provider.

How Long Should I Use a Cold Therapy System For?

Before taking your Polar Care Wave or any cold therapy units home, ask your healthcare provider for detailed usage instructions. This includes how often and long to use it for, the level of pressure and water temperature, and how to inspect your skin for damage.

Breg Polar Care Wave Knee Cold Therapy System

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.

Great cold therapy machine

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.

Saved me!

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.

Happy so far

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!!

Very happy with this purchase and customer service!

I did a bit of research before purchasing and was a little worried that it was the "cheaper" version of the gameready device - but the reviews were good and the price is so much less, I figured I would give it a shot. I've had it for a week and I'm six days post ACL surgery, trying to use it a few times a day for a few hours each time - the compression is really strong which I like, but I find that the "coldest" setting isn't that cold and sometimes I prefer an ice bag to get that really cold therapy on my knee.... I'm sure it's "cold enough" for what is meant to do, but that would be my only complaint - MAKE IT COLDER!. Also, I should mention that when I first set it up, it wasn't getting cold at all, so I called customer service - I was able to get a live person on the phone in about 5 minutes and she stayed on the phone with me for probably 30-45 minutes until we had the unit sorted out. Given this was my first day post surgery and I was still completely out of it from the pain meds, this was really really appreciated and some of the best customer service I've ever received (also the reason I'm leaving this review, which I would normally never do). So, I'm about six days into using this device, it's convenient, light, easy to set up, easy to use, and the combination of cold and compression is exactly what I'm looking for - hard to say whether "it's working" or not, given I'm only six days post surgery and still have a lot of discomfort and swelling, and also hard to say how it compares to other devices as this is the only one I'ver ever used - BUT, I am very happy with my purchase so far and would recommend it without any question - just for the customer service alone. So that's it, would be five stars if it got a little bit colder, but that's my only "minor" complaint. and by the way, if you are reading these reviews, that means you probably had some kind of injury, so for that I'm truly very sorry and good luck with your recovery!
