I love the Polar Care Cube. Easy to use and incredibly soothing to my shoulder as I recover from surgery.
Cheers!
Used the Breg Polar Cube and sterile pads for my knee replacement Two years ago. Bought additional pads for my wife to use in the coming weeks. Highly recommend Breg products for sensitive surgery.
The Breg Polar Wave Cold Therapy is, by far, the best way I’ve ever found for icing an injury. It is systematic, consistent, and very easy to set up and use.
Many thanks!
The polar wave ice machine is an integral part of my recovery after full knee replacement surgery. It is easy to operate with a steady flow of ice cold water that flows through the knee sleeve. It also provides compression which feels like a gentle massage. I am very grateful to have it and recommend it to anyone after knee or hip surgery.
Got this 2 weeks before shoulder resurfacing surgery including labrum repair, bone spur removal and glenoid joint insert. Surgery Oct 14. I have set up the should sleve in advance and slipped it in immediately and just leave it on and ice every 40 to 60 minutes. I have used frozen water bottles but the water bags they sell last 2x longer glad I bought 8 bags. The mild compression right now on my 9 inch incision is perfect. No swelling in lower arm in sling and swelling minimal around shoulder and rotator area. Also I am not taking opiods and wont just Aleve and Tylenol. So far the steady routine icing with mild compression is amazing. This machine is incredible. 6 stars if the ratings would go that high
Many thanks!
Very nice cold therapy machine with compression. I would give it 5 stars if it had a built in timer.
Was interested in cold therapy after complex shoulder surgery involving multiple fractures. Research led me to OB.
As advertised, easy to use, effective, affordable, and integral to my recovery. Delivery was whip fast. Highly recommend.
Appreciate it!
I have an older DonJoy ice machine and needed a new pad for it as I was getting a total knee replacement. I was so happy to see that all models, new and old use the same connectors so I was able to easily replace the pad and knew the connectors would work! Awesome! The pad works perfectly with my machine!
Gets cold FAST!! not heavy like an ice pack. Which is incredibly important post op when the shoulder is very tender.
The shoulder pad was very difficult to put on top of my arm brace. it was almost impossible without help. Filling the bags with water and replacing them when frozen also meant needing help.
I used the product for two days. It did feel good and worked as described. I then used an 12 x16 in flat ice pack for a couple of days. I would recommend the product only if assistance is available, or if used possibly on a knee. I plan to donate the machine for someone who can’t afford it and maybe really needs it.
First, I was in extreme pain and needed this unit right away. You chose USPS which took 7 days to deliver. The shoulder pad itself is certainly not designed to be put on by a person with a shoulder injury, painful and cumbersome. Temperature variation of areas of the pad are inconsistent. I can live with the design flaws but USPS shipping you’re out of touch with the needs of your clients. Never again.
Thank you for your review. Our records show your order was placed on September 30, shipped on October 1, and delivered on October 5.
The Berg Polar cube is simple and easy to use. There are multiple vendors selling similar units with vary many gadgets and options, they are unnecessary, Berg keeps it simple and performs very well.
Thanks, friend!
My advise is to order at least 8 bags, it makes keeping up with the cold therapy simple and quick, with no need to empty any melt water from the Berg Polar cube. It was well worth the extra cost.
Much appreciated!
this is fabulous well worthy investment easy to use the compression is absolutely worth the investment. The ice pack, save money versus filling the container with ice water.
. They provided ice packs, save money rather than filling the container containers with ice water. My Spouse had their ankle totally replaced, and this has been a big help to have and we will probably continue it to when he goes back to his job.. I plan to buy the attachments when I have my shoulder replaced. You can’t go wrong and some insurances even will pay for it.
I recently had shoulder surgery and the unit is helping in my recovery. Easy to set up and it last so much longer than using the hand held ice packs . Reduces the pain and inflammation and reduces the use of opiods. Great product.
Appreciate it!
Gasket went on well, and was perfectly sized for the groove it was pressed into. Gasket only stuck for 3 uses of the Breg Kodiak before coming out of the groove. Customer Service here is great. Very friendly and responsive, but the gasket didn't work after doing all of the preparation steps.
Hi Jeffrey, we’re very sorry to hear that the gasket did not hold as it should, especially after you carefully followed all of the preparation steps. We’re glad to hear you had a positive experience with our customer service, but we understand how frustrating it is when the product itself doesn’t perform as expected. We’d be happy to send you a replacement gasket at no charge. Please reach out to us at returns@orthobracing.com and we’ll get a replacement sent out to you. Thank you, The OrthoBracing Team
Although I am happy with the brace itself, the sizing chart is inaccurate. Both surgeon and physical therapist told me that it is too small for my surgery tomorrow. I will be required to purchase another one. Big bummer!
Hi Carla, we’re glad to hear you’re happy with the brace, but we’re sorry the sizing wasn’t right for you, especially with your surgery tomorrow. If the brace has only been tried on for sizing and has not been worn or used, we’d be happy to help you exchange it for the correct size. Please contact us directly at returns@orthobracing.com and we’ll be happy to assist with the exchange process. We wish you all the best with your surgery and recovery! Thank you, The OrthoBracing Team
This machine has been instrumental in my recovery from ACL surgery. It’s so easy to use and WAY more efficient than traditional ice packs. The wrap stays cold the entire time and the compression feature is super effective! It greatly reduced my swelling and helped alleviate pain the first week after my surgery. Highly recommend!
Many thanks!
Just had ACL repair and this was recommended by the surgeon. Since the cost to buy was about the same as renting a similar device for two weeks, I decided to splurge. The cold and compression really help with pain and swelling. I can imagine using for other sore spots that come up from time to time. Glad I bought one!
Thanks again!
