The Cube Back kit uses a broad, flat WrapOn back pad that lies across the lumbar spine and is held on by a belt-style strap around the waist. Patients use it after lumbar fusion, laminectomy, microdiscectomy and other lower back surgery, and for flare-ups of back strain when a doctor recommends cold.
This listing offers two pad choices: Back or Hip. Make sure you choose Back for spine use. It's $215 with a pad, or $176 for the cooler only.
If you wear a back brace after surgery, ask your surgeon whether to ice with the brace off while resting.
Skin barrier: a Breg sterile pad liner or your surgical dressing should cover the skin under the back pad.
Lying directly on the pad pinches the water flow and presses cold hard into the skin. Side-lying or reclining with the pad against a pillow works better.
Many spine surgeons recommend cold to help with incision soreness and muscle spasm in the early weeks, which can mean less need for strong pain medicine. Check your discharge instructions.
The pad is meant to touch the lined skin directly, so most people take the brace off while resting and icing, when the surgeon allows it.
Cold can help with a fresh strain or flare. For pain lasting more than a few days, see your doctor about the right plan.
Back is the flat lumbar pad. Hip is contoured for the outer hip and thigh. Choose Back for spine surgery.
Full setup and draining steps are in the Cube instruction manual (PDF). Compare all pad options on the Breg Polar Care Cube page.

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. Henson (9) loves to measure boxes, stack them, and occasionally build forts. Jordan is the analyzer and numbers guy. 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.
