Does a great job. Severe shoulder pain and this Breg Polar Wave works great to reduce the inflammation. OrthoBracing was also great in helping me get it delivered fast. Thank you
I am very happy with this product. After total knee replacement, it has been a godsend in keeping the surgery site iced. I now mostly use it at night, which allows for continuous icing as I sleep. The motor is super quiet. I also ordered the ice bags to use, rather than always having to buy bags of ice at the store, and those work well (freeze them early before use as they take a while to completely freeze given their bulkiness). Two words of caution: the sponge filter in the cone on the hood which draws the water up into the tubes is very tiny and you need to be careful not to lose it while cleaning the unit; the wrap that goes around the leg either got plugged up or otherwise stopped working on a unit that was rented from a medical supply place, but in all fairness, who knows how long it had been in use. The wraps can be purchased separately if needed. Again, real happy and worth the investment in the Breg Polar Care Kodiak!
After 2 neck surgeries, I use it daily to relieve the stress in my neck. It works like a charm. This is my third one.
We ordered the Breg polar care wave shoulder pad for our son who was having surgery. By mistake we did not select the 2 day shipping at check out. Realizing our mistake we contacted Cold Therapy. They immediately found the order and put it into the 2 day shipping, Free of Charge.
Service doesn't get any better than that!
Order shipped promptly as advertised on site. Quality machine.
Easy use, it is making healing easy.
Wow! Game changer! Easy to set up ans use. The ice bags bought selarately made everything easier than loise ice. Our family will be using this often, not just for injuries but for overall wellness from workouts.
I couldn’t be happier with the Kodiak. I went with the model compression and it is exactly what I needed.
Exactly what I needed for post-op healing of a Left TKR.
It's true, this product will definitely help you cut down or completely come off pain meds after surgery. I am almost 2 weeks post op from a shoulder bicep tenodesis and I had my labrum repaired with 4 anchors into the bone. Nothing has given me relief until the Breg polar care cube. If you are thinking about it, it is worth it! It is a little difficult to strap by yourself - but I have found that it works just as well even if it is not strapped on
I have the main machine that was used for a knee, so I ordered the shoulder, but the attachment doesn’t work. They have the same ends on it. You gotta have two different ends. So I need to send it back and get my money back.
I was using a friends much more expensive “Game Ready” and knew I couldn’t keep it forever, so I started to research other options. I couldn’t be happier with the Breg Polar Care Wave and the reusable ice bags. I was going through bags of ice daily, but don’t need to anymore, the bags are great and they last hours vs. minutes.
This machine is fast acting! Less than 30 seconds and my hip pad was ice cold! I really enjoy ut. I strongly recommend it this product when recuperating from hip replacement surgery! A must!!!!!!!
I had a Total Knee Replacement 8 months ago and rehab was going slow. Found out I also have a Posterlateral Corner tear I’ve been walking around on for 2 years. Still needing that fixed.
I did a ton of research to find something to stabilize my knee and the DonJoy Playmaker II kept coming up. Best $200 spent!! This brace truly supports my knee for the mess of ligament damage but is perfect to not hinder a new knee. I wear a compression sleeve under it and it’s never slipped down. The material is a God send and doesn’t smell terrible as I work outside and sweat a lot.
For a “off the shelf” brace, this is amazing!!
Purchased the Breg Polar unit as part of our recovery for hip replacements. The unit was easy to set up, and very effective in administering continuous ice cold treatment.
The unit was a bit pricy, however, we knew it would be used on different occasions. I would recommend Breg Polar Unit.
I would recommend
The shoulder pad fits great and provides good coverage for ice therapy.
The Breg Polar Care Cube (I call it an ICE BUCKET), is a 'Jim-Dandy' real pain and swelling reliever. In our case it was purchased to relieve pain and swelling, post-knee-replacement surgery. It works VERY well. A full bucket lasts us up to about 6 hrs. which is a good amount of ice therapy time.
The machine is very quiet and easy to maintain (easy to fill, implement and empty). Be sure to have plenty of ICE because it holds more than you may think. I went to Wal-Mart and bought a couple bags of ice from them. A bag the size we have, here, will fill the BUCKET twice.
While using the ICE BUCKET, the dressing (portion fitting over the knee, in our case), can get wet due to condensation. If your surgery wound is not covered with a water-proof bandage, already, I recommend placing a plastic sleeve like a gallon-size baggie or kitchen plastic wrap between the Polar Care Cube's dressing and your wound's bandage so as to keep your wound dressing dry.
The ICE BUCKET was only needed, in our case, for about 3 days, or so, post-surgery and THEN AGAIN, post-rehab therapy, to help with post-exercise pain. Your body should be able to 'tell' you when you need it...
After my rotator cuff/bicep reattachment surgery, I woke up in a sling that was very uncomfortable. After a few days, I had a neighbor come over, who is a charge nurse at Texas Orthopedic Hospital, to see if I was wearing it wrong. She told me that they use Donjoy exclusively and showed me the instructions for putting on, etc. I saw the shoulder ring design and jumped online right away to order! Shipping was only a couple of days, and what a difference in comfort! I told my surgeon as well as my physical therapist all about it, and if I ever know anyone else having this procedure, I'll definitely be sharing my grateful experience with them!
