The Cube Knee pairs Breg's plug-in Cube cooler with a WrapOn knee pad that surrounds the joint on the front and both sides. Surgeons most often send patients home with a knee ice machine after total or partial knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair and knee arthroscopy. During the first weeks the knee swells the most, which is when steady cold matters.
Pick the standard pad (04700, 10.25 x 11.25 in) for an average thigh, or the XL (04705, 12.25 x 19 in) to reach farther around and behind the knee. Most of our knee customers choose XL. Prefer the cooler alone? It's $176. With a knee pad it's $215.
The pad fits over most post-op knee braces' thin liners but not over a bulky hinged brace. Ask your surgeon whether to wear it under or with the brace removed.
Sterile liner to match: Breg 04708 (standard knee) or Breg 04908 (XL knee).
Yes, it's one of the most common uses. Steady cold over the incision area helps with swelling and soreness in the weeks after surgery, which can mean leaning less on strong pain medicine. Your surgeon will tell you how many sessions a day.
Choose XL if your thigh is larger, you want coverage behind the knee, or you aren't sure. Choose standard for a slimmer leg or a smaller adult.
Breg advises checking the skin under the pad regularly, so many surgeons say no unattended overnight use. Run it before bed, unplug it, and restart when you wake.
The pad wraps a bare (lined) knee. Most ACL patients take the brace off while icing, lying down with the leg straight, if their surgeon allows it.
Many protocols use about 30 minutes on with breaks, checking skin each hour. Follow your surgeon's schedule.
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.
