I absolutely love this product- I was given one for my knee after getting meniscus repair surgery from the hospital. The part where the cord met the motor stopped working after 2 months, so I ended up having to buy a whole new one for almost 200 dollars. Within 2 weeks of having the new one, the cord frayed right at the base where you plug it onto the motor. I DON'T GET IT!!!!!! I emailed the company asking for a new cord, and didn't receive a response. Don't buy from them, it's absolutely ridiculous.

Flimsy, bad adhesion, not worth the $20.

I had borrowed a friends Breg ice machine for my knee replacement recovery. Hers had been through two previous knee surgeries. It worked so well I decided this was the one I wanted to purchase for myself. It works very well using 4 frozen water bottles, is very quiet and stays cold almost all day. I’ve had zero leaking as long as you connect it correctly. I’m very pleased with my Breg purchase.

This product is great. The gel packs stay cold for several hours. I like the size and flexibility of the product. I would like to see the velcro to not be industrial strength. It is very difficult to pull off with my very arthritic fingers.

The compression pro device is outstanding. I used it for post op recovery for a total knee replacement. It lives up to the advertised cooling for 12 hours. I have friends that have devices of other brands that say they have to change ice bags every few hours but for me it was just twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Absolutely excellent cooling properties. I purchased the extra fillable ice bags which were amazing to use with this device and I highly recommend. Super easy to set up and maintain. I had no one to help me and I could manage this device and the ice bag changes effortlessly. I only have one negative to add which may not be negative for everyone. The low compression setting was still too much pressure for me during the immediate post op pain and swelling. So I didn’t use the device much in the first 2 weeks, only on days I could tolerate it. Once the swelling went down a little I was able to use it in low. I’m still giving it five stars because it functions as it should and my situation will not be the same for everyone. I am now 6 weeks post op and still use it daily, it absolutely makes recovery better.

Customer service was quick to put in a replacement order. Surgery was 10/21. It is now 10/26 and no replacement received yet. I can re-review after replacement received.

When the machine turns on it works great. The power cord is very unpredicted if it will work or not.

It works well. I suggest adding a remote control switch so you don’t have to keep unplugging it. We freeze water in 4 old Snapple bottles and insert them around the core, which makes it easy to replace the ice.

Worlds great but…no guidance on size. I bought an XL to match what size t shirts I wear and it is way too big. And of course once opened you can’t return. So difficult to use effectively when it’s too big.

The company should give guidance on size to buy. There was none and now I am stuck.

Due to sling I have not used them yet but will in a few weeks!

I am an old athlete trainer so I’ve been around the game for a long time over 40 years never needed one for myself this new one with the pump on it is wonderful. I’m using at 16 hours a day following any replacement and it’s been a godsend.

The shoulder pad finally showed up the day before surgery. Hooked it up and used it that night and it worked great. My arm was still numb though have been using it every daythese past 10 days. It is somewhat difficult to get the pad completely flat on the top of my shoulder and the front and back and the side of my arm of my while wearing a sling, but it still works and it works great! I would highly recommend this product to anyone!

Well made! Robust cooling packs and construction! Will see how long the cooling packs last.

Any Orthopedic Surgery requires this product. I've used it for knees for years and now for a Shoulder. You can't get through the post surgery and PT without this product!

I tore my ACL,had surgery, the Doctor prescribe this after my surgery to keep the swelling down and it worked, thanks

I’ve had my polar cube for over ten years and my knee pad attachment was in its last leg with most of the Velcro wearing out. The new one works like a charm.

Working very well and helping healing process on knee replacement.

I have been using the Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Compression Machine following full knee replacement about 10 days ago. This cold machine has become my best friend! I cant wait to meet his partner compression when my incision has healed properly to allow compression therapy. I worked with Baxter at Cold Therapy Supply to choose the system that was best for me. His knowledge and expertise was invaluable as this was my first joint replacement. He was very patient with me and my many questions on the many products they have to offer for cold therapy. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision on the right machine and the right company to purchase from. They offered free shipping and I received the machine in just of couple of days of ordering. Thanks!

device worked excellent for ice after knee surgery , worked as advertised..

worked as advertised for total knee replacement, ice therapy device is excellent

Product worked as expected. I was pleased with customer service as I ordered eight days prior to surgery. After calling a customer service representative, I was assured it would arrive prior to surgery and indeed I had three days to spare!
Extra large knee pad for polar cube.

Good, sturdy bags. Fit inside a Donjoy Classic 3, but we can only get 3 bags in the box. Much better than ice cubes and better than frozen water bottles

Seem heavier and sturdier than the Breg shoulder straps. Very wide which adds to some difficulty securing on the ice pad for smaller people.

Overall good. It's a bit loud and needs an on/off switch.

This is my second product from them. I am having an issue and I’ve emailed them twice. Tried to contact them and haven’t heard from anyone. If I heard back from customer service, I would’ve left a better review.
