Breg® Polar Care Wave & Cold Compression Pads

Breg Wave Compression and Ice Machine

I have only used my machine. Couple of times prior to my TKR, to get familiar with it. I love the compression feature. The large knee sleeve is nice because it covers my entire knee. I also like the feel of the sleeve. I think it’s neoprene. I used small frozen water bottles in it and it got really cold. I would give it a 9 out of 10 only because there is not a timer. I would love for it to come on every 20 mins and go off for 20 like some of the other machines I reviewed. I compromised to get the compression. I do love it!

Breg Wave with Knee Pad

We purchased the Breg Wave with Knee Pad for my wife’s total knee replacement surgery rehab. Very easy to operate right out of the box. This unit has been a lifesaver with respect to cooling efficiency and with ease. We used 12 oz bottled spring water, 4 at a time rather than ice cubes. The physical therapist was very impressed how good her knee looked, swelling-wise, 2 and 4 days after surgery. Icing routine was 20 minutes every hour.

I have a total knee replacement and I’m in the beginning of the recovery process. Cold feels really great and it reduces swelling caused by the surgery and subsequent PT exercise. The cool therapy wave is really easy to set up and to use. It is really effective.
