Breg Polar Care Wave with the Universal pad

The Universal pad is the Wave's most flexible wrap. One 13 x 12.5 in pad with three long straps can be wrapped around a shoulder, knee, thigh or calf, which makes it a good fit if you are not sure which joint you will need, or if you will treat more than one area during recovery. Wave with Universal pad: $389. Cooler only: $285.

One universal pad wraps a shoulder, knee, thigh or calf.

Cold plus compression

The Wave pumps ice water through the pad and also squeezes it gently on a cycle. That pressure helps move swelling out while the cold calms soreness, which is why many surgeons ask for it after shoulder replacement, reverse shoulder replacement or rotator cuff repair.

  2. 2Wrap the pad around the joint
  3. 3Pull the straps snug, not tight
  4. 4Pick a cold and compression setting

Great product.

Awesome icing!

The Breg Polar Wave Cold Therapy is, by far, the best way I’ve ever found for icing an injury. It is systematic, consistent, and very easy to set up and use.

Many thanks!

The Wave is a Lifesaver

Got this 2 weeks before shoulder resurfacing surgery including labrum repair, bone spur removal and glenoid joint insert. Surgery Oct 14. I have set up the should sleve in advance and slipped it in immediately and just leave it on and ice every 40 to 60 minutes. I have used frozen water bottles but the water bags they sell last 2x longer glad I bought 8 bags. The mild compression right now on my 9 inch incision is perfect. No swelling in lower arm in sling and swelling minimal around shoulder and rotator area. Also I am not taking opiods and wont just Aleve and Tylenol. So far the steady routine icing with mild compression is amazing. This machine is incredible. 6 stars if the ratings would go that high

Many thanks!

Worked great for icing my back post surgery.

Disappointed.

The shoulder pad was very difficult to put on top of my arm brace. it was almost impossible without help. Filling the bags with water and replacing them when frozen also meant needing help.
I used the product for two days. It did feel good and worked as described. I then used an 12 x16 in flat ice pack for a couple of days. I would recommend the product only if assistance is available, or if used possibly on a knee. I plan to donate the machine for someone who can’t afford it and maybe really needs it.
