Breg Polar Care Cube Cold Therapy System

Most patients use the Breg Polar Care Cube for 20 to 30 minutes per session, several times a day, unless otherwise directed by their healthcare provider. For post-surgical recovery, it’s commonly used during the first 72 hours to control pain and swelling. Always follow your doctor’s guidelines to avoid skin injury or overexposure to cold therapy.

Continuous cold therapy is the delivery of consistent, regulated cold to an injured area to reduce swelling, pain, and inflammation. The Breg Polar Care Cube delivers up to 6–8 hours of cold therapy with one ice and water fill. It maintains a therapeutic temperature more effectively than ice packs, making it ideal for post-op care and sports injuries.

1. Open the cooler lid and fill with ice to the fill line.
2. Add cold water to just above the ice.
3. Close the lid securely.
4. Connect the tubing from the cooler to your sterile Breg pad.
5. Plug in the unit — it will begin circulating cold water immediately.

Always place a sterile barrier (such as a dressing or Breg Intelli-Flo pad cover) between your skin and the pad.

For best results, replace the ice every 6 to 8 hours or when the pad no longer feels cold. Maintaining a full ice level ensures optimal temperature control and maximizes therapeutic benefit. Using frozen water bottles can extend cooling time and reduce mess.

The Polar Care Cube is compact and easy to use, ideal for most orthopedic procedures. The Kodiak offers longer-lasting cold and can be used with a battery pack for portability. It’s also compatible with a wider range of Intelli-Flo pads, making it better suited for more complex procedures or patients needing extended therapy on the go.

No. Always use a sterile barrier or the Intelli-Flo pad cover to protect your skin. Direct contact with cold therapy pads may lead to frostbite or skin damage. Using the correct pad and cover ensures safe, comfortable therapy sessions.

The Breg Polar Care Cube cold therapy unit typically costs between $160 and $190, depending on the pad selection and any available discounts. Prices may vary by the combination of cooler and pad being ordered, and some bundles include Wrap-on pads or sterile dressings. For the most accurate pricing and availability, it's best to shop through an authorized distributor like DME-Direct.
