The Breg cooler does exactly as I expected and needed, and for such a quiet little device it gives a great relief for my post surgical shoulder rebuild.Surprisingly quiet, I wasn’t sure it was even on when I first plugged it in… I guess I expected a bunch of pumping and swishing sounds but no, it quietly and efficiently moved cold water through the pad to the affected application point. Bingo!
The pad itself is a bit stiff and a bit less flexible than I would like it to be. I bought the extra Velcro straps and these allow me to place it optimally on my shoulder by myself with no assistance. The cold water has remained so for 36 hours so I didn’t have to change it out like I expected and that was a plus as well. It’s a friendly and efficient device that will help during and after the therapy I start in a week or so. Good product but again, the shoulder pad is a bit stiff and not as pliable as I hoped!
I am 5 days post op SLAP repair and sub-acromial decompression and this little unit has gotten me decent sleep each night. Swelling has been minimal so far and it has also been great for pain management. I have only needed a Percocet once after the nerve block wore off and have otherwise been fine with a Tylenol before bed to manage the pain. As a PT myself, I am honestly amazed at how effective it is and plan to recommend it to my patients in need. My doctor's office offered to rent a digital unit for 2 weeks for twice the cost but it seemed way too big and complicated. For a barrier I use a pillow case. An extension cord also really helps. Unfortunately, I still seem to be driving my wife crazy.... If your preference is simple, this is the one to get. I am also wearing the Breg Arc 2.0 sling for the next 6 weeks which stinks but I had to mention it because of how stable it keeps my shoulder. I still hate the thing.... Great company. Good luck!
This is an awesome product. Had one when i ruptured my achilles. Now just got it my ankles and knees. Thanks Breg!
Everything was great for my first purchase will buy from again many thanks
Excellent
