      Contraindications and Precautions

      Here are some common contraindications and precautions associated with cold therapy devices like the Breg Polar Care Cube:

      1. Cold Sensitivity: Individuals who have a known sensitivity to cold temperatures should use cold therapy devices with caution. Extreme cold can cause skin damage and discomfort in such cases.

      2. Peripheral Vascular Disease: Patients with conditions like peripheral arterial disease (PAD) may have compromised blood circulation to the extremities. Cold therapy can further reduce blood flow, potentially exacerbating the condition. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential in such cases.

      3. Hypertension: Cold therapy can temporarily increase blood pressure. Patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure (hypertension) should consult their healthcare provider before using cold therapy devices.

      4. Raynaud's Disease: Individuals with Raynaud's disease, a condition characterized by exaggerated responses to cold or emotional stress, may experience discomfort with cold therapy. A healthcare provider should provide guidance on the use of cold therapy in such cases.

      5. Allergies or Skin Conditions: Patients with allergies to materials used in the device or those with pre-existing skin conditions should consult their healthcare provider before using cold therapy devices.

      6. Open Wounds or Infections: Cold therapy should not be applied to open wounds or areas with active infections, as it may hinder the body's natural healing process or introduce the risk of further infection.

      7. Neuropathy: Individuals with neuropathy (nerve damage) should use cold therapy with caution, as they may have reduced sensation and may not perceive discomfort or skin damage.

      8. Cryoglobulinemia: Patients with cryoglobulinemia, a rare condition characterized by abnormal proteins that precipitate at cold temperatures, should not use cold therapy devices without consulting their healthcare provider.

      Please note that these are general guidelines, and specific contraindications may vary depending on the patient's medical history, the type of surgery or injury, and the advice of their healthcare provider. It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before using the Breg Polar Care Cube or any cold therapy device to ensure safe and appropriate usage. Additionally, you should refer to the device's user manual and guidelines for detailed information on contraindications and precautions.

      Conclusion

      The Breg Polar Care Cube is a safe and effective way to use cold therapy to reduce pain, swelling, and speed up healing. It is easy to use and can be used at home. If you are considering using the Breg Polar Care Cube, talk to your doctor to make sure it is right for you.

      Love this unit!

      I borrowed a machine from a friend. I had a knee replaced. We love it so much we bought our own. My next knee replacement is soon. We started with ice. My ice maker wouldn't keep up with it. People suggested using bottles of frozen water. This can ruin your pump because of the label and glue on the bottle. I purchased the bags made for this machine and they work great! You get 12 and it fits three at a time.
      The quality is solid. I get 8 -12 hours out of one fill. It's easy to use and move around. I use it in my living room and bedroom. I found I needed to use it at night also. I was looking for a timer that would be 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off, so I don't have to leave it on to long while sleeping. I haven't found one yet. I don't understand why the power plug is under the handle, it makes it a little challenging to insert. I recommend this to anyone having surgery. It's versatile so you can get different sleeves for other parts of your body.

      Delivery Failure

      Have yet to receive machine, delivery projected 10/15 but wasn't delivered, now no projected delivery date. Knee surgery 10/19, no confidence in delivery by then.

      Looks like it was successfully delivered on 10-17 (1Z435506YW00209320).
