Ice packs slide off a hip. This Cube kit uses a contoured WrapOn hip pad that covers the outer hip and upper thigh, where the incision usually sits. A waist strap and a thigh strap hold it in place while you lie on your back or walk short distances around the house. It's made for recovery after total hip replacement (anterior or posterior approach), hip arthroscopy, labral repair and hip fracture surgery.
The hip pad comes in one regular size. The kit is $215 with the hip pad, or $176 for the cooler alone if you already own a pad.
Keep any hip precautions your surgeon gave you while putting it on, such as not bending past 90° or crossing your legs.
Skin barrier: use a Breg sterile pad liner or your surgical dressing under the hip pad.
It's a small insulated cooler with an electric pump. Water and ice go in, cold water flows through the hip pad, and each refill lasts around 6 to 8 hours. A skin barrier is required. Coverage: machine 6 months, Breg pad 6 months. A medical professional's order is required for sale.
Many surgeons recommend cold therapy for the first weeks to help with swelling and soreness around the incision, which can reduce how much strong pain medicine you need. Follow your surgeon's plan.
Yes. Shift the pad toward the front of the hip so it covers the front incision, and keep the waist strap above it.
The strap system stays on while you take short trips, but the hose ties you to the cooler. Most people ice in bed or a chair and unplug before walking.
Yes, lie on the side you didn't have surgery on, if your surgeon allows it. Keep the hose free of kinks.
No. The hip pad is shaped for the outer hip and thigh. The back pad is a flat, wide pad for the lower spine.
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.
