About the Breg Cold Compression Pad — Foot & ankle
Covers the ankle and foot together.
The foot and ankle pad for the Breg Polar Care Wave wraps the malleoli and continues over the midfoot, so the whole area is treated at once. Used after ankle surgery and for acute sprains.
The Breg foot and ankle pad wraps around both malleoli and continues forward over the midfoot, treating the joint and the foot together rather than forcing a choice between them. Ankles swell quickly and hold that swelling stubbornly, and the combination of cold with intermittent compression is used precisely because elevation and ice alone are slow to shift it. A single hose connects the pad to the Polar Care Wave, which circulates chilled water while an air bladder compresses the area in cycles. It fits an ankle circumference from 23 cm to 41 cm with a foot circumference between 18 cm and 30 cm, and measures 43 × 30 cm laid flat. It is used after ankle fracture fixation, ligament reconstruction and Achilles repair, and by anyone managing a significant sprain.

Pad measures 43 × 30 cm laid flat.
How it works
The pad wraps the treated area and connects to the Polar Care Wave by a single hose. Chilled water from the unit circulates through channels in the pad while an air bladder inflates and deflates against the skin, so cold and intermittent compression are applied together rather than one after the other. The pad shape is contoured to the joint it is made for, which keeps the cold in contact with the tissue that needs it.
