It was very difficult to put the shoulder pads on after shoulder replacement surgery. I could not list my arm enough to properly wear the pad.
i ordered the shoulder as i had an upcoming shoulder replacement operation. i have had the unit for at least 3 years as i used it when i had my knee replacement. it works as well if not better than advertised.
Putting all the electronics and pumping into the top vs. the older models is a great improvement. We only got 6 months use off the $400 model before it plugged up and stopped working. For the price my expectations are lower this time. The sleeve unit that works for both knee and shoulder is nice. Just using it for knee presently. I will update this in 6 months.
The cold and compression really help my surgical pain relief. I hate to turn it off when I am supposed to. I am following all Doctor's directions for after surgery, so I am not over doing it. Cold therapy machines are not always spoken about from medical teams, they tell you to use ice on your surgical area, but I learned about using g cold machines and the Breg Polar Care Wave is a great little work horse of a machine. It soooo much better than ice packs or frozen peas. if you can afford to buy this therapeutical machine..do it. Who knows own if down the road I may have to replace my left knee as well. I have the Breg at the ready
I purchase this in advance of my rotator cuff surgery. For the first 48 hours, I had this plugged into a smart plug and scheduled 30 minutes on 30 minutes off. My postop pain and swellinghas been way less than everybody told me it would be and my recovery is going really well. So glad I made this purchase. I took the advice of some other people and I froze eight bottles of water for keeping the water cold. Four bottles will keep it cold for about eight hours before having to swap out for a new four.
Love the machine. Had a small issue and customer service responded quickly and rectified my problem.
Got this 3 days post ACL op, my regret is not having it sooner. I buy a lot of useless nonsense, this is a must have. Wish I heard of it before hand.
Exactly what I will need for upcoming foot surgery. I have the shoulder one and already know how important this is for reducing pain in order to heal, so know this will be great for what I am needing it for.
Bought this to replace and older version. Better constructed, distributes the cold more effectively.
Just recieved the pads for cold cook cube therapy and am still a month away from my knee replacement therapy. Service from the company was great. Professional in help in choosing right product to match machine inherited from family member, Delivery was much faster than I anticipated
I give a 4 out of 5 review, one knee pad didn't get as cold but after adjusting the pad by pulling and making sure it wasn't kinked I had no further issues. If this trouble shooting information would have been avaliable without me making several calls in to the manufacturer I would have given a 5 out of 5 review. The breg polar cube is a game change!
Works exactly as expected perfect for postoperative issues it has significantly reduced the need for oral pain management
The product is easy to use and particularly the four (!) velcro straps to insure close fit!
We were very impressed with your product. It helped so much after my wife’s knee replacement surgery.
Perfect for after knee replacement! The cold therapy help to reduce any inflammation. Use it religiously!
The unit is working great, just as we expected, and the customer support and service were top notch. Thank you.
Great to deal with! Very fair and competitive pricing with great customer service included! Highly recommended to anyone needing post-surgical equipment. Easy to communicate with them and a no hassle return policy even when YOU make the mistake not them! I have recommended them to everyone I know in need of these type products.
