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.

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.

- 2Wrap the pad around the joint
- 3Pull the straps snug, not tight
