Breg Polar Care Kodiak Shoulder

It’s a keeper!

This product was purchased to help me out with icing my shoulder after rotator cuff surgery. This is the second time I’ve had this surgery but the first time with this machine. The first time I was using the freezer bags of ice and towel and also got ahold of a shoulder ice pack that works a bit better than the bags of ice and towel method. It was a hassle to use the freezer pack method so I was very happy to use something else. If you’re reading this you already know how well reviewed the Breg system is but I will add my review to the many other accolades it’s received. The good: The hassle of running back and forth to the freezer for ice is over. The worry about freezing my skin with direct contact of ice is over. The short period of icing is over. With this Breg system I load it up with loose ice, water and a frozen water bottle and it lasts longer than I need it to. Often I can forgo the loose ice and just use the water bottom technique. The bad: you really need to have some additional hands. The hassle is moved to attaching the pad to the shoulder. Not impossible to do by myself but it’s really best if someone can help. Also, the connection of the tubing is prone to water leaking if the connection isn’t fully secured. Just need to double check and with a bad shoulder (arm and hand) it wasn’t easy to do. Again, another person really does help with this. Bottom line for me is I will be using the Breg for all my icing needs moving forward and purchasing any attachments needed for the area needing to be iced. 99% happy to have purchased it and will be using it in the future.

Ice, Ice Baby!!!

I had rotator cuff surgery on April 11th and been using this product since. It is absolutely a Godsend. I have to ice my shoulder to keep inflammation down and this is a perfect device to do so. Highly recommend.
