I read about this a few days before my husband’s surgery and needed to find one quickly. Supply cold therapy shipped one out quickly to us and it arrived 2 days before the surgery! They didn’t have any knee attachments but were expecting a shipment the next day. So someone who worked there called me and verified a Saturday delivery wls be on vs a Friday delivery, as I had paid for a 2 day delivery by Friday. Saturday was perfectly fine as surgery was on Monday! A+++
Unfortunately the knee compression sleeve doesn’t get even temperature throughout the use. I took the sleeve off after 20 minutes. Below the knee wasn’t cold. When I touched the sleeve, it wasn’t cold either which confused me because it was right by where the water came through the hose. Over all the compression worked well. I didn’t know it was intermittent compression vs constant when I purchased. Good for a home use unit, just hoping this was a faulty sleeve.
I had really high hopes for this device, for a healing aid to my spouse, who recently underwent a hip replacement surgery. Unfortunately, our experience is that it just doesn't do what it says it will. The biggest issue is the pad - which is meant to deliver 'cold therapy' via a pump mechanism, circulating the cold water from the reservoir. However, the pad simply never gets cold ! Even though the water and ice bags in the 'tank' are Very cold to the touch, the pad was, at best, only 'cool' against the skin - even when the machine was on its 'coldest' setting. This is just my opinion, but I think it's not nearly as effective as applying simple ice packs to the area, and costs a lot more.
Shipped fast, arrived in good condition, works great!!! Highly recommend!
Absolutely LOVE everything about the Breg Polar Cool Wave! Just wish there were Wrist and Elbow Pads available.
