I am post-surgical almost 3 weeks for left knee arthroplasty. The hospital sent me home with a Breg Polar Care Cube. My surgeon laid out my post care treatment, which required fairly constant icing with the Breg. Supplied with the unit was a standard knee pad. I am a bigger dude (6'1", 220 lbs), so I went on the Breg site to see if larger cooling pads were available. I found the XL and ordered it immediately. Shipping was very quick and it arrived 3 days later. To say that this pad is a game changer is an understatement. The smaller pad may work on smaller individuals, but my relief and recovery really took off after I started using the larger pad. It's not cheap, but it is very worth the price.
Firstly, after rotator cuff surgery, this machine is a godsend to minimize pain and swelling. It also works great after all the challenging rehab sessions. The adhesive/velcro straps should be designed with a grommet in one end so that with a grab type device/hook, it can be placed by myself without assistance. This would make it easier to achieve independence. But let it be stated that the cooling pad, once placed, works effectively and comfortably. Also the Breg ice cooler also needs a bit of retooling to allow better ice and internal pump placement (but that’s for another day).

Excellent product.
I am having shoulder surgery and needed a smaller shoulder pad for my size and Katie was very helpful and kind helping me with everything I needed and took my order right over the phone. She is truly an asset to your company, and I couldn't have ask for better Customer Service.
