My sister lent me the Polar Cube machine she used for her knee but I needed a flat accessory for my hamstring repair. The gentleman who helped me was very good and empathetic. Shipping was fast and it works great!!
If you are having surgery this device is the best option for your recovery. Helps reduce swelling and inflammation
I have had 3 acl surgery, one total hip replacement and one knee replacement
Use Breg for all recovery
The ice bags are smaller than the Breg ice bottles, but work well.
Since total knee replacement, this wave therapy is awesome. Would not hesitate to buy this product again.
I upgraded the gravity unit to circulating by replacing the lid and power cord. It is amazing! With the ice bags, it lasts all night and greatly decreased the meds needed. I wish it were quieter, but it is still amazing!
I am having my second knee replacement so I stocked up on these
The polar cube system works so well. Two of my family members have had several surgeries and the cube is so efficient for icing. We have found the best way to use it is to freeze eight 16oz water bottles and rotate four at a time using them in the cube with cold water. They only have to be switched out once a day. The pads are very versatile and different sizes can be purchased depending on the area that needs icing. The only small complaint is that the pads do gather condensation and need to be dried off each time or it will get the bandage wet. Otherwise it’s a great system and I highly recommend it. Also, the customer service I received from Baxter was top notch! I made an error on my order and needed to have it delivered faster than requested. He answered my email request within 10 minutes, called me immediately to resolve the issue, and I received the system in time for the surgery. Very satisfied all around.
This replacement pad is very versatile. It works great on your knee, ankle, shoulder, etc. The pad allows continuous comfortable icing.
I was issued one for my knee replacement and loved it. I guess I didn’t put it away correctly and when I went to used two years later the machine wouldn’t work. Because I liked it so much before I decided to buy a replacement.
Everything went well but they shipped it to the billing address instead of the actual address I wanted it to go. They were very easy to work with and made everything right. I would buy from them again.
Great company with outstanding service. The merch speaks for.itself but the companies customer service rocks!!
I purchased this machine to speed recovery from a hip replacement. Unit is very efficient and allows for several hours of cold therapy without changing ice packs. Unit is small, portable and whisper quiet. Easy to disconnect to move around without removing the pad. The hip pad itself is quite versatile and could be used easily for other body parts (knee for example).
Used this ice machine since August 5th for wife. We used it 3 to 4 times a day. I believe it was why she progressed so well.this replaced the knee pad that was worn and discolored.
My husband has Gillian Barre syndrome and hyperextends his knees. This was THE product recommended by the Orthopedic Surgeon. Offers some support but doesn’t prevent the knee extension. We’re not going to be able to use the brace.
The brace ordered fits perfectly. It is one size smaller than my previous brace. It supports my knee which hyperextends. It fits well over various slacks. And is much less expensive than the brace sold by the folks at the hospital
Perfect for knees, and great customer service with super fast delivery!
This cold therapy is amazing after having hip replacement surgery. I can get about 5-6 hours out of it before having to change the ice. Being able select how long it runs and how long it is off is a game changer for me.
Works great. 5 stars. Only upgrade would be not having to run through bags of ice but it does stay cold for a ling time.
The machine is very simple to set up and operate. It does a good job of temporary pain relief.
I discovered at the last minute, just before surgery, that my insurance wouldn't cover the cost of this machine, so I had to scramble to find a quick alternative. This came the day of my shoulder surgery and was waiting for me at the front door when we came home from the hospital. This was a lifesaver and helped to keep me pain free. Even better, we hooked this up to one of our smart plugs (apple home) and had it kick on and off every 20 minutes. Perfect.
For the price, the freezer bags are an embarrassment. They literally lasted 1 freeze. Otherwise i really like this machine.
Fix perfect but a little pricey!
I am a rugby player who dislocated my shoulder anteriorly 11 months ago. I have been experiencing shoulder instability and partial dislocations in my games until I tried this brace. It was well worth the price! My shoulder feels more stable than ever - no more instability or partial dislocations when I am making tackles or going into contact. For size reference I am 5 foot 9 inches and weigh around 150 pounds. I am wearing a size small and the brace fits well, honestly could have sized down if needed.
Spoke with a CS rep to place my order and inquire regarding the benefits of the product. After having foot surgery, the pain was agonizing. With the instructions from the CS I was able to alleviate a little discomfort and get much needed rest.
I had a total knee replacement on 9/29/25. I'm 44. When I woke up the first thing I felt wasnt pain but how cool my leg was. I leaned over the bed and took a picture and started looking for whatever this was. I ended up purchasing it at 2 am. I'm not quite sure why my Orthopedics office did not suggest this because it is an absolute necessity. I cannot think of any other way to provide the amount of "ice" that is truely required to alliviate the amount of swelling and discomfort following this type of procedure. This set up is an absolute game changer and I recommend it ×10000.
