Frequently Asked Questions

How does cold therapy work?

Cold Therapy, otherwise known as cryotherapy, is a proven method applied in medical and surgical techniques to reduce pain, inflammation, and expedite recovery. Cryo- derives from the Greek word "krous," meaning "icy," "cold," or "frost" and "therapy" means "cure" or "treatment."

How often do I have to put ice in my unit?

The frequency in which you need to add ice to your cold therapy unit varies with each specific unit. Generally, cold therapy units keep ice cold for 4-10 hours, depending. However, instead of ice we recommend using frozen water bottles and placing them in the cooler with water to reduce the amount of ice needed. Just be sure to remove the labels from your water bottles before trying this method.

Can I use cold therapy anywhere?

While most cold therapy Units require a grounded power supply (i.e. wall plug) to pump the cold water into the pads or wraps, the Breg Kodiak unit has an optional battery pack for use anywhere. Additionally, the Aircast Cryo Cuff Gravity cooler does not require power and instead uses the force of gravity to allow the water to flow through to the pad.

Do the units have automatic timers?

No, most cold therapy units do not have built in timers. However, we have found that plugging the unit into a outlet timer as you might for your decorative lights during the holidays works well at creating a self timer.

Does insurance cover cold therapy units?

This will depend on your insurance provider. While we do not bill or accept insurance, we recommend checking with your specific provider to see if they will reimburse you post purchase. Additionally, we are able to accept HSA and FSA cards for purchases online and over the phone.

Can I wear my unit to bed/sleep?

We do not recommend using your cold therapy unit and pads while sleeping.

Like machine however...

Like the machine but mine was defective. After about 8 minutes, the on/off button would flash and compression stopped working. Customer service said they will ship me a new unit. I was suppose to get it on Thursday however, hurricane arrived on Wednesday night! Hope unit arrives soon.

Awesome machine - has worked perfectly

My partner just went through hip replacement surgery - her 2nd. The Breg Polar Care Wave Cold Compression System was the device recommended by her surgeon’s office. It was a bit expensive, but I had enough in my HSA to cover it, and it was delivered with the hip pad in just 2 days. It has been a godsend in her recovery. We used a different “cold” machine, borrowed from a friend, for her 1st hip. That worked well for what it was, but it leaked so badly she needed to keep a towel underneath her to protect her furniture. This time, the Polar Care Wave Cold Compression System has performed flawlessly. We began using it right after getting home (about 3 hrs post-surgery). At once, the cold therapy provided immediate pain relief (she felt the cold right away). My partner was a bit anxious about the compression feature being painful, but we began using it once swelling became apparent. Turns out, it wasn’t uncomfortable (we used the low setting), and it was not painful and was excellent at drawing out the swelling. I actually think it allowed her to stop using narcotics as soon as she did. We’re now on Day 17 and using the machine for 30-40 min sessions four times each day. Thank you Breg for creating such an excellent device. We will definitely recommend it to anyone who asks - we may lend it out, too!
