POLAR CARE WAVE DESCRIPTION

The Polar Care Wave is a motorized cold therapy and intermittent compression device. Motorized cold therapy
and compression have repeatedly been shown to decrease postoperative pain, swelling, inflammation, and
narcotic use following a variety of surgical procedures, such as surgery to the shoulder, knee, and back.
The Polar Care Wave unit consists of a container, tubing, lid with pumps, power supply, and a cold-compression
pad. The cold-compression pad is applied to the patient's injured area which delivers cold and intermittent
compression therapy. The unit delivers cold therapy by circulating water from the container through the tubing
into the cold-compression pad. The compression therapy is delivered by the unit's air pump, which inflates and
deflates air into the cold-compression pad providing gentle squeezing of the pad around the affected area. The
cold and compression therapies can be used in conjunction with each other or independently of each other, if
preferred or prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional. Breg offers a family of cold-compression pads to
meet treatment needs (see page 12 for the full cold-compression pad options).
The Polar Care Wave can be used and operated by a patient or caretaker in a home or clinical setting.
