Breg
Cold and compression, ward to home.
The Polar Care Wave pumps iced water through a Breg cold compression pad while a separate air pump inflates and deflates the pad around the joint. Cold and compression each have two settings and can be used together or separately. The unit is light enough to move from the hospital, physiotherapy clinic or athletic training room to the patient's home, and seven pad shapes cover the knee, shoulder, back, hip, foot and ankle. It is a prescription device for single-patient use.
Key specifications
Why the Polar Care Wave
Cold plus compression
Iced water cools the pad while an air pump squeezes and releases it around the joint, combining two therapies Breg designed to reduce pain and oedema after surgery or injury.
Settings to prescribe
Two cold levels and two compression levels, each of which can be switched off, let the clinician set the protocol for each recovery stage.
Facility to home
A compact, carry-handle unit with hose storage moves from hospital or clinic to the patient's home, so therapy continues after discharge.
Quiet at night
Breg describes the pump as whisper-quiet, so patients can use it while resting and keep to their treatment schedule.
Pads for each joint
Seven Breg cold compression pads fit the knee, large knee, shoulder, back, hip, foot and ankle, and a Y-adapter allows both knees to be treated at once.
Where it is used
Orthopaedic and sports medicine practices, hospitals after joint surgery, physiotherapy clinics, athletic training rooms and home recovery on prescription.
