Universal Ankle Cold Therapy Pad for Breg Polar Care Cube and DonJoy IceMan Classic3/Clear3
Need a new ankle pad but your cooler still works? This universal ankle pad wraps the ankle and top of the foot and circulates ice water from your Breg Polar Care Cube, DonJoy IceMan Classic3 or Clear3, so you can keep up with prescribed cold therapy after ankle fracture surgery, ligament repair, Achilles repair or ankle arthroscopy. Every pad includes a skin barrier ($19.99 value) and is HSA/FSA eligible.
Proper use requires a barrier between the pad and the patient's skin. A skin barrier is included.

DonJoy IceMan Classic3 and Clear3 owners: check your connector first
This pad fits only the newer DonJoy IceMan connector, which has two separate white connector clips, each with its own metal release tab.

How to use it
- Place the included skin barrier (or a sterile dressing, if your surgeon requires one) over your ankle.
- Wrap the pad around your ankle and foot and secure the strap snugly, not tight.
- Connect the pad's tubing to your Cube, Classic3 or Clear3 cooler.
- Fill the cooler with ice and water and turn it on.
- Follow your surgeon's schedule and check your skin regularly.
Important: cold therapy can get cold enough to injure skin. Never apply the pad to bare skin, always use a barrier, and follow your doctor's instructions.

Frequently asked questions
What's the best cold therapy pad after ankle surgery?
One that wraps both the ankle and the top of the foot, fits the cooler you already own and comes with a skin barrier. This pad fits the Breg Polar Care Cube, DonJoy IceMan Classic3 and Clear3, and includes a skin barrier for $49.99.
Can I use it after Achilles tendon repair?
Only when your surgeon approves it. If you're in a walking boot or splint, remove it only when your surgeon explicitly permits it.
How many straps does the ankle pad come with?
One fastening strap that secures the wrap around your ankle. Don't overtighten it.
Is this an original Breg or DonJoy pad?
No. This pad is independently manufactured to fit the Breg Polar Care Cube, DonJoy IceMan Classic3 and DonJoy IceMan Clear3. It is not made, sponsored or endorsed by Breg or DonJoy.
Does it work with the Breg Glacier, Kodiak or Wave?
It is designed for the Breg Polar Care Cube, DonJoy IceMan Classic3 and DonJoy IceMan Clear3. Glacier fit has not been confirmed yet, so call (844) 505-8144 before ordering for a Glacier. It does not fit the Breg Kodiak, which uses a different connector, or the Breg Wave compression system.
Will it fit my older DonJoy IceMan?
Only if your machine has the newer connector: two separate white connector clips, each with a metal release tab. It will not connect to the older one-piece quick-connect block (gray and white housing with two round openings). Check the end of your machine's hose, see the connector photo, or call (844) 505-8144.
Does it come with a skin barrier?
Yes. Every pad includes one skin barrier (a $19.99 value), so you have a layer between the pad and your skin from the first session.
Do I need a sterile dressing instead?
You always need something between the pad and your skin. Over a fresh surgical incision, many surgeons want a sterile dressing instead of a non-sterile skin barrier. Ask your surgeon which one you need, and call (844) 505-8144 if you need help finding a sterile dressing for this pad.
Is it HSA/FSA eligible?
Yes. You can pay with your HSA or FSA card at checkout.
How long should I use cold therapy?
The universal protocol for ice is 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off. Your surgeon may prescribe a different schedule, so follow their instructions, keep a barrier between the pad and your skin, and check your skin often.
Can I return it?
Because this is a medical product, we can't accept returns once it ships unless it arrives defective. See our return policy for details.
