  • 6-month warrantyCovers the pad.

Why the Breg Polar Care Wave

Two compression levels you can feel

Low gives a gentle squeeze (about 25 mmHg) and Regular a firmer one (about 50 mmHg). The pad slowly fills and releases every minute or two.

Cold + compression, like Game Ready

Like Game Ready, the Wave pairs circulating cold water with pumped air compression. Breg designed it to travel from the clinic to your home.

Quiet and portable

Whisper-quiet pump and a compact unit that moves from clinic to home. Breg built it for home use as well as the clinic.

Ice bags, no loose-ice mess

Fill the cooler with freezable ice bags instead of loose ice for easier refills. No extra barrier needed under the pad, per Breg.

Breg Wave pad sizes

Ranges are circumference, from Breg's Polar Care Wave size chart. Breg doesn't say where to measure, so the spots shown are our sizing guide (the same as Find my size). *Breg's Cold Compression Pads page lists larger maximums: Knee 32", Large Knee 37.5", Shoulder 52". Tap a card to select that pad.

Which Wave pad fits?

Breg replacement pads for the Polar Care Wave. Each pad carries both cold water and air for compression, so only Wave pads connect to the Wave.

  • Fits: Breg Polar Care Wave only.
  • Won't fit: Polar Care Cube or Kodiak. Those use WrapOn or Intelli-Flo pads.
  • Both knees? Add the Wave bilateral knee Y connector.

Breg Polar Care Wave questions

Which pads fit the Breg Polar Care Wave?

Only Breg Polar Care Wave pads. Each Wave pad carries both chilled water and compression air, so it fits the Breg Polar Care Wave only. Wave pads come in Universal, Knee, Large Knee, Shoulder, Back, Ankle and Hip. See all Breg Polar Care Wave pads.

Do Cube or Kodiak pads fit the Wave?

No. Will not fit Cube or Kodiak. Only Breg Polar Care Wave pads connect to the Wave unit.

What is the difference between the Breg Polar Care Wave and the Breg Polar Care Cube?

The Wave gives cold and compression in one unit, with two compression levels, light and firm, and ice bags instead of loose ice. The Breg Polar Care Cube is cold only, with no compression.

Is there a large knee pad for the Wave?

Yes. The Large Knee pad (C00003) fits 16 to 30.5 inches around the thigh, per Breg. The standard Knee pad (C00017) fits 8 to 27 inches around.

Do I need a prescription for the Breg Polar Care Wave?

Yes. United States Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a medical professional.

Is the Breg Polar Care Wave good for knee surgery?

Yes. The Breg Polar Care Wave is a cold and compression ice machine for the knee and other joints, used at home after surgery or injury. Use the Knee pad, or the Large Knee pad for a bigger thigh. Follow your surgeon's instructions.

Family and small business...

We are a small, but mighty staff...

When you can work with your family it blurs the line between having fun and work. Eve (7)  is our consummate helper with small boxes.

I am an attorney by training, photography lover by choice and all around level-headed problem fixer. 

Stacy is a true gem of a human being! If 1000 people where in a room, Stacy would be the #1 most calm under pressure and is also one of the most patient persons you will ever meet. Our customers love the help they receive from Stacy and our customer service reviews show it!

Mary Grace is our absolute all-star at OrthoBracing.com! Customers love her, she has an amazing Spotify play list and she brings lots of laughter (and the occasional British accent) to the office. We are so lucky to have her work alongside us as this business serves more and more people. 

A family-run small business with nearly two decades in healthcare.

  • Same-day shipping on most products from our Charlotte, North Carolina warehouse.
