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
It has been great for the swelling in pain on my knee. Very easy to use and multiple settings.
Love the machine. Had a small issue and customer service responded quickly and rectified my problem.
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.
