BREG Polar Care Wave Cold Therapy with Compression Pad System

The BREG Polar Care Wave Cold Therapy with Compression Pad System is a specialized device designed for post-surgical and acute injuries to help reduce pain, swelling (edema), and inflammation where cold and compression therapies are indicated. Includes:  1 x unit with power supply 1 x pad (optional) 8 reusable ice bags Features: Motorized Cold Therapy: Provides controlled cooling to the affected area, helping decrease pain and inflammation. It uses reusable ice bags and a pump to circulate cold water through a pad that attaches to the body. Active Compression: Delivers adjustable pressure to the injury site to aid in reducing swelling and support faster recovery. The device features two compression settings: Normal (50 mmHg) and Low (25 mmHg), so users can tailor the intensity to their comfort and medical needs. Portable and Whisper-Quiet: Compact design allows for easy transport and encourages rest during use. Bilateral Use Option: Allows treatment of two areas simultaneously with a Y-adapter. No Extra Barrier Needed: Direct contact with the pad is safe and intended for single-patient use, at home or in clinical settings How Cold Therapy Works: Cold therapy, also called cryotherapy, is a treatment that uses cold temperatures to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling in the body. Cold therapy works by exposing part of the body, or sometimes the whole body, to cold temperatures. This causes blood vessels to constrict, slowing blood flow to the area, which can help reduce swelling and numb pain. The drop in temperature can also decrease nerve activity, slowing down pain signals and bringing quick relief. Safety and Warnings: Cold therapy is generally safe for short periods. It’s important not to apply ice directly to skin (use a cloth barrier) and to avoid prolonged exposure, which can cause skin damage or frostbite. Some groups, like people with circulatory issues or certain nerve conditions, should consult a doctor before using cold therapy.
