Polar Active Ice® 3.0 Full Circumference Knee Compression Cold Therapy System, 9-Quart Cooling Reservoir

Details: Recommended by relatives who had knee replacement surgery. Researched the many brands. Chose Polar ice due to the many good reviews. I was also persuaded by the company itself. Made in USA and the customer service was fantastic. Every time I called there was an employee that answered the phone and provided the answer to any question.

Details: We bought this unit before my recent knee replacement surgery and it's been a key tool in managing post-op challenges including pain. It's easy to use and reliable of course it helps relieve the swelling, but also helps manage the pain from PT required walking. I'll never go through another joint operation without having one of these with me post-op.

Details: I've been using this for 5 days now after knee surgery. I like it so much more than ice. Much more convenient! I found that placing frozen water bottles inside just doesn't chill the water as much as dumping good-old ice in there. I did then top it off with a few bottles of frozen water to help keep it colder, longer, and it seems to helps. I really like the auto-on & off function. I actually look forward to using it!

Details: Buy direct from US company. They answer the phone, they ship the next day. You can get exactly what you need. Ability to swap out 6 sealed frozen water bottles is incredibly fast, clean and convenient. Timer gives you adjustable periods of cooling and rest, even if you fall asleep. I chose to add extension tubing and power cord - tank is out of the way, tubing routed so it is not a trip hazard, and control is right at my bedside. Large knee pad is perfect for TKR. Temperature is uniform and cons... More details

Details: I ordered this machine with the full size pad so that it would be useful with my upcoming knee surgery so that it would cover the entire knee and not just the top. I watched several YouTube videos and they were very informative. I also had a friend that used one for her knee replacement. I used 6 frozen 16.9 oz water bottles to keep the water cold. About every 10-12 hours we would switch out the water bottles for new frozen bottles. The pump circulated the cold water through the pad and kept my ... More details

Details: This cold compression was a huge help with ACL recovery. I got the full circumference (rectangular) pad since I was going to be having a hamstring graft from behind my knee. The 9qt cooler with 6 frozen 16oz bottles of salt water (3 x 6 to rotate the frozen ones) keep it cold for hours, though it would be just cool by morning. I used a crossbody purse/messenger bag to carry the bottles to/from the freezer while I was on crutches. The newer controller allowing control over time on/off as well as ... More details

Details: I had arthroscopic knee surgery and I had the Polar Cold Therapy waiting for me when I got home from the hospital. I kept in on for 3 days, only re-filling the machine 1 time a day. The built in timer made the whole thing WONDERFUL! No messing around with bags of ice and constant changing of ice packs. After the first three days, when I was able to get up and walk around a bit with crutches, I went right back to the cold therapy. I am 2 weeks post-surgery, and I have no pain at all (I used the p... More details

Would you recommend this to a friend?: Definitely yes.

Details: Order shipped quickly and very easy to use. Performs ten times better than regular cold packs. Chills so well I had to set the flow rate down on the controller right away on first use. I got the Full Circumference Knee pad for therapy on a total knee replacement I had and find it doesn’t conform well around the joint. Looks like the Knee, Ankle, Elbow and Joint pad might do a better job making contact around the varied surfaces. Overall very pleased with the system.

Details: Thank you so much for your prompt service. My first knee replacement has gone so well, thanks in a great part to your system, that the doctor has scheduled my next knee less than 2 months after the first. I used the Polar cooler regularly to reduce pain. I was able to only use Tylenol after 10 days and keep swelling to a minimum. The full knee pad is large enough to cool the back of my knee too, which helps with physical therapy exercise pain. Your products arrived promptly and service was more ... More details

Details: This was the perfect solution after a total knee replacement. Swelling was a big problem. This unit was the best answer, with the ability to simply swap out frozen water bottles instead of hustling ice from everywhere such a godsend. So glad I bought it! The staff at Polar Products was incredibly helpful and made everything even easier.

Details: Very easy to use and the staff are friendly. The only thing to note: my knee had to be in a brace and I found it difficult for the ice pad to make contact with my knee because of the brace.
