Breg Polar Care Wave: cold and compression in one
Cold therapy plus active compression, both adjustable.
- Adjust cold and compression to feel right
- Simple to operate
- Compact for home or travel
The Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Therapy System (100577-000) combines motorized cold therapy with active (not passive) compression in one easy-to-use unit.
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.

Customer Reviews
The polar wave ice machine is an integral part of my recovery after full knee replacement surgery. It is easy to operate with a steady flow of ice cold water that flows through the knee sleeve. It also provides compression which feels like a gentle massage. I am very grateful to have it and recommend it to anyone after knee or hip surgery.
Very nice cold therapy machine with compression. I would give it 5 stars if it had a built in timer.
This is a solid product that works well and relieves my pain after shoulder injury and surgery. The unit has variety of high quality pad products available that are easy to interchange. I wish the device had customizable timer and a remote control like cheaper quality items on Amazon. Don’t get me wrong, this product is on another level than the Amazon junk, but think there is an opportunity for more features to be added by manufacturer.
Awesome machine for the money!
Great but bags of ice is colder so good for longer term icing like overnight
