I had LTKR 2 weeks ago. My neighbor loaned me her machine until mine arrived. I don’t think I would have survived without her generosity. Waited patiently for my own to arrive. Easy setup and I love it. It is an absolute necessity for a total knee replacement!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars!
I can't say enough good things about this cold therapy machine and the company behind it. The machine made a huge difference in my recovery after my knee replacement by helping reduce pain and swelling. It brought so much relief and made me much more comfortable throughout the healing process.
When my original machine was lost, their customer service was outstanding. They quickly ordered and shipped a replacement without any hassle. I truly appreciated how fast they responded and how well they took care of me during a stressful time.
If you're having a knee replacement, I highly recommend getting a cold therapy machine. It has been one of the best investments in my recovery, and I'm so grateful for the excellent customer service and support. Thank you for helping make my recovery so much easier!
For TKR, this is a must for helping control swelling and pain! Easy to use and manage, My knees were done 5 years ago, and I came home from the hospital with this. Insurance isn’t covering this for my husband who is scheduled in the next weeks-so we paid out of pocket-WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!
Ordered the pad for my wife’s upcoming hip replacement. Payed for 2 day shipping. It arrived right on time. No issues at all. Will definitely use again in the future.
Im havi g shoulder replacement August 6th. I gave it a try a few days ago and looking forward to usei g it after my surgery. Its very straightforward and easy to use.
I reached out the other day to possibly return what I ordered. I guess my mom and I ordered the same cord for the same Breg. I haven't received an email yet on the return process.
I have emailed to get an exchanged size, but have not heard back after two emails.

16 days into recovery from total knee replacement. Love my Breg. I credit it with helping speed my recovery. I think the compression feature is the secret sauce. It feels so good! Only one minor issue which is the straps on my knee pad are losing adhesion. I will need to replace them soon. Still giving a 5 because this machine has done so much for me. Try it, you will be glad you did.
I'm a chiropractor, so I'm familiar with lots of ways to aid healing post op. I just had surgery on my foot, and I couldn't have gotten through without this. It DRAMATICALLY reduces pain and swelling. I wore it for 72 hours straight, then less frequently over the subsequent weeks. 5 weeks post-op, I still use it for half an hour in the morning, intermittently for at least a couple of hours after working on my feet all day, and as needed at night during sleep.
I like that you can have a high, low or off setting for both compression and cooling.
TIPS: 1) Get the extra ice pack bacgs Several of them split on me over the past five weeks. My ice machine on my freezer, couldn't keep up, but even if it could, you don't want just ice and water. It melts too quickly to sustain the cold temp, which leads to the next tip... 2) A combo of ice cubes, water and the frozen ice bags that come with the machine is ideal. You want the water cooled fast (ice cubes) and for it to last you as long as possible between changes (ice packs). 3) A cheap cooler next to the bed filled with ice, ice packs and cooling packs made to cool the cooler itself (hard plastic) allowed me to change out the tank on the Breg in the middle of the night without hobbling to the kitchen. 4) Buy the extra velco straps listed on this website. I got the "Universal Cold Therapy Velcro Straps 3 Pack." The velcro on the foot/ankle pad stopped sticking well after only 2 weeks of use (very frequent use, but still disappointing). Save yourself the trouble, especially if it's after surgery, and add this on from the start. I used an ACE bandage for a while, but the velcro straps are so much more convenient. 5) Buy from this website. They were great!!! Shipping was only 2 business days. And when my first unit leaked at the junction between the tube from the machine and the tube from the pad, all I had to do was text these nice folks in NC, and they had another one shipped to me right away. Makes all the difference when you're immobilized and in pain to have that kind of care and service.
Out of surgery, the Cube w/ shoulder pad is working just as expected. Making recovery much easier and faster than using ice packs to minimize pain and inflammation.
The polar Care machine is excellent. The reusable bags are not very good. They leak after they are sealed and the instructions say to place 4 in the machine however the top of the machine never fits with 4 bags. The most I am able to put is 2.
Shipped/delivered quicker than expected. Thank you. Just a great machine - quiet and reliable. I’m very happy and using it several times/day in my rehab. Thank you.
Breg® Polar Care Kodiak Cooler with Pad - Breg Polar Care Kodiak w/ Intelli-Flo Knee Pad was purchased from OrthoBracing. Great customer service. They did not over sell, advised what I needed.
The Breg Polar Care Kodiak. Is a nice machine for the money. I have used both ice and frozen water bottles. I like the ice better, but the frozen water bottles are easy to use and refreeze.
This is my second Breg Polar Care Wave (my cat chewed through the tubing on my first one) and I would not be able to get through post surgery care without it. I have had 6 knee surgeries in 2 years, including 2 knee replacements. Opiods do not provide me with pain relief due to a gene mutation I have so this ice machine and tylenol managed my pain extremely well. I highly recommend it!
The shoulder therapy pad is difficult to put on by oneself. Need a second person to make the adjustment. It works well de in place.
This is keeping me from using so many of the drugs and takes my pain away.
I was initially given a 3 panel immobilizer, then the breg tscope premium post op rom brace (open style) and it was hurting me more than it was helping me, not the braces fault but it was a struggle to say the least & my doctoes office was not being helpful in finding alternative solutions
So I went ahead and purchased this brace with my paytient credit card, so thankful this was an approved merchant 😭
As soon as I saw the breg recover brace I knew it was exactly what I needed, and it has not disappointed. I even wore it backwards for a day and it was STILL comfy and my knee felt soooo much better
Its still a bit irritating, as probably all rom braces are, and lord 9 weeks post op & i never want to hear velcro ever again, but for the price & amount of relief ive felt, im so glad I purchased
I did consult my surgeons team prior to wearing the brace to make sure it was right for me & it came so fast it was here in less than 2 days witj regular shipping!!
