Product Reviews

Details: I purchased the Polar 3.0 cold therapy system for my wife who recently had knee surgery at the suggestion of her Orthopedic Surgeon. This is an awesome product and has been a godsend for my wife. The system is easy to use and has run flawlessly. I use 16 oz frozen water bottles in it and change them out with new ones when needed. I had similar surgery 2 years ago and used ice packs. I wish I had it back then, it is so much better than what I had! I appreciate good products and good companies, Polar has both.

Details: I used this for my knee replacement, I didn’t need any medication at all during my recovery. My surgery went so smoothly elevating my knee and using your system. I practically lived in that thing! The timer was amazing to use at night too. I’m a nurse practitioner and whenever knee, back, and hip surgeries get brought up I immediately send them a link to your site.

Details: This was exactly what I needed after a fractured tibial plateau was repaired. The cooler only needed to be refilled about once a day (I didn’t keep the sleeve on at night), and the sleeve can be detached from the hose so you can go to the bathroom without removing the sleeve from your body. Now I will have it available to lend to any friend who may need it. Also, I received it overnight, which was essential since I was having surgery at very short notice.

Details: I've used a similar unit in the past. However, the deciding factor in purchasing this particular unit was the auto on/off cycle timer, which no other company offers. You can set it for how long you want it run and how long you want it to shut off before it runs again. Recently I have been dealing with a lot of knee pain and stiffness while trying to sleep, it's been 3-1/2 months since my surgery. To the point I am back having to use crutch's when I first get out of bed, until I do an ice therapy session. So, I decided to experiment and use the machine throughout the whole night while in bed. First couple of nights I tried different cycle times, 20 mins on/20 off. Then 30/20. Finally settled on 40 mins on/10 mins off. Now when I get up in the mornings, I feel so much better. I'm not in nearly as much pain nor do I have as much stiffness! Also, I no long need the crutch's when I first wake up. Having the on/off cycle timer is such an added benefit!

Details: I originally purchased a Don Joy Iceman for my knee surgery through the local hospital. Tried it out and it seemed OK but a friend told me about your Polar AIS system and how much better it was than Iceman. I returned the Iceman to the hospital and purchased your system. You guys need to get a salesman down here. You are selling a Cadillac and these hospitals down here are pushing Volkswagens! Love your system.

Details: I couldn't find anything to keep the ice packs from melting and needed something quick. The Polar Products Active Ice 3.0 Knee & Joint Cold Therapy System with Digital Timer Includes Knee Bladder, 9 Quart Cooler is the best! It helped with the swelling and was just what I needed for my post knee replacement recovery

Location: USA

Details: I had a older model the pump went out , so i ordered the new model, the digital timer is the best thing ever. With the polar ice machine, i didnt need pain meds after knee replacement.

Details: This product has made such a difference in reducing post surgical pain and swelling. I recommend freezing water in 8-12oz plastic bottles rather than ice. Also you can get an extension for the timer chord which makes it much more convenient to reach. https://www.polarproducts.com/polarshop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=483419&adminPreview=1

Details: I used this device for months following knee surgery. I came with several wraps which allows the user to secure it to different areas of one's body. I loved that I code select how long I wanted the ice cold water to pump through the bladder. Easy to carry, use and clean. This really helped with my post surgical swelling!

Details: My wife had a difficult knee replacement. Following surgery she needed to ice her knee 3-4 times a day. We borrowed a neighbors ice machine but wanted our own. This product works as advertised and has done a great job as she recuperates after surgery and goes thru rehabilitation. From the information in the box you can get attachments for shoulder and back pain. I would buy this again

Details: Hi. I bought the polar AIS knee system for my son's knees. I wanted to make sure it worked as well as the very expensive Game Ready system he used in the hospital. It does work as well as that system! So now I want to purchase another bladder so he can ice both knees at the same time.
