About the Breg Cold Compression Pad — Shoulder
The Breg shoulder pad is shaped to cover the deltoid and the front and back of the shoulder joint in one piece, with a strap that passes across the torso and under the opposite arm to hold it in place. That matters more on a shoulder than anywhere else: it is an awkward joint to keep a flat ice pack against, particularly for someone in a sling who cannot easily reposition it themselves. Chilled water circulates through the pad from the Polar Care Wave while an air bladder applies intermittent compression over the same area. It fits a shoulder circumference from 101 cm to 132 cm with a bicep between 30 cm and 51 cm, and measures 39 × 50 cm laid flat. It is most often used in the weeks following rotator cuff repair, labral repair or shoulder stabilisation surgery.
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.
