Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Therapy System (100577-000) is a cutting-edge device designed to accelerate recovery by combining the powerful benefits of cold therapy with active --not passive--compression.

The Polar Care Wave is in the third generation of ice machines: the other being Game Ready. Game Ready is an incredible product, read the reviews across the internet, the only issue is that is costs more than the average mortgage payment in the United States.

The Breg Polar Care Wave unit is a most excellent alternative to the Game Ready unit; it is the most advanced ice machine on the market. 

Whether you're recovering from surgery or managing acute injuries, this system can provide much-needed relief, reduce pain, and help you regain mobility.

Breg Polar Care Wave Key Features

  1. Medical-Grade Quality: As a Class II medical device with 510(k) clearance, the Polar Care Wave meets the highest safety and efficacy standards. Amazon brands, although cheaper, do not meet this stringent safety criteria.  Safety matters when you are recovering from surgery. 

  2. Integrated Cold and Compression Therapy: Delivers motorized cold therapy paired with active compression to reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain effectively.  

  3. User-Friendly Design: Simple to operate, making it an excellent option for clinical use or at-home recovery.  

  4. Portability: Compact design ensures easy transport, allowing you to continue therapy anywhere.  

  5. Customizable Settings: Adjustable cold and compression levels allow for tailored therapy sessions.  

  6. High-Quality Pads: Ergonomically designed pads ensure optimal coverage and comfort for targeted areas during therapy sessions.

Who is the Breg Polar Care Wave for?

  • Post-Surgical Patients: If you've had orthopedic surgery, such as knee, shoulder, hip, or back surgery, this system can help reduce post-operative swelling and pain, making your recovery more manageable. 
  • Athletes or Active Individuals: Perfect for treating sports injuries like sprains, strains, or overuse injuries, enabling faster recovery and return to activity
  • Chronic Pain Sufferers: Individuals dealing with arthritis or persistent joint pain will benefit from the consistent and soothing relief the system provides.
  • Physical Therapy Patients: A valuable addition to rehabilitation programs, helping reduce inflammation for more effective therapy sessions.  
  • Caregivers Seeking Convenience: For families managing a loved one's recovery at home, the device offers easy setup and operation.

Who is the Breg Polar Care Wave NOT for?

While the Polar Care Wave is a versatile recovery solution, it may not be suitable for:

1. Individuals Without Medical Guidance: This device is best used under the supervision or recommendation of a healthcare professional to ensure safe and effective therapy. 
2. People with Circulatory or Cold-Intolerance Issues: If you have conditions like Reynaud’s disease or poor circulation, prolonged exposure to cold therapy might not be safe. 
3. Those Seeking Heat Therapy: The Polar Care Wave focuses on cold therapy and compression; it does not offer heat therapy. 
4. Patients Looking for Instant Results: Recovery takes time, and this device is designed to complement rest, therapy, and medical care—not provide a standalone cure.

Great machine and this is the best place to buy it from!

I'm a chiropractor, so I'm familiar with lots of ways to aid healing post op. I just had surgery on my foot, and I couldn't have gotten through without this. It DRAMATICALLY reduces pain and swelling. I wore it for 72 hours straight, then less frequently over the subsequent weeks. 5 weeks post-op, I still use it for half an hour in the morning, intermittently for at least a couple of hours after working on my feet all day, and as needed at night during sleep.

I like that you can have a high, low or off setting for both compression and cooling.

TIPS: 1) Get the extra ice pack bacgs Several of them split on me over the past five weeks. My ice machine on my freezer, couldn't keep up, but even if it could, you don't want just ice and water. It melts too quickly to sustain the cold temp, which leads to the next tip... 2) A combo of ice cubes, water and the frozen ice bags that come with the machine is ideal. You want the water cooled fast (ice cubes) and for it to last you as long as possible between changes (ice packs). 3) A cheap cooler next to the bed filled with ice, ice packs and cooling packs made to cool the cooler itself (hard plastic) allowed me to change out the tank on the Breg in the middle of the night without hobbling to the kitchen. 4) Buy the extra velco straps listed on this website. I got the "Universal Cold Therapy Velcro Straps 3 Pack." The velcro on the foot/ankle pad stopped sticking well after only 2 weeks of use (very frequent use, but still disappointing). Save yourself the trouble, especially if it's after surgery, and add this on from the start. I used an ACE bandage for a while, but the velcro straps are so much more convenient. 5) Buy from this website. They were great!!! Shipping was only 2 business days. And when my first unit leaked at the junction between the tube from the machine and the tube from the pad, all I had to do was text these nice folks in NC, and they had another one shipped to me right away. Makes all the difference when you're immobilized and in pain to have that kind of care and service.
