Product Reviews

Details: I bought this because I was getting a total hip replacement. The unit will stay nice and cold all night long. I set it on cool level 3 with 20 min. ON/10 ,min. OFF. It is easy to disconnect and then only a dribble of water. I used it from knee to my suture for days. Later I only had swelling on the back of my thigh so I used the pad as a wrap around my thigh. I went for frozen water bottles for convenience since my wife had to swap them. I kept 12 in the freezer so 6 were always ready. We lost 2 bottles so far, one split and the top came off another. These could just be cheap water bottles. This has really kept my swelling down, feels soooo good, and keeps my wife from having to swap ice packs from the freezer every 20 min. With it being quiet and insulated water lines, I can't imagine a better unit out there. The remote takes a little time to get used to, but then it becomes second nature. It would be nice if the buttons were back lit, but you can feel them in the dark. I connect and disconnect the water lines at the same time instead of one at a time. It was easier and quicker for me.

Would you recommend this to a friend?: I already did. I went to my post-op and there was a patient that was going to have shoulder surgery. I told him about y’all, he got on the website and was going to order active 3.0 cold therapy system. For his shoulder.

Details: I bought the Polar Active Ice to use after my total hip replacement. It was recommended to me by two of my friends who also used it post surgery. It has been a life savior. Easy to put together and the timer is probably the best feature. I’m using six water bottles of ice and they last about 5-6 hours before I have to change them out and that’s using the machine almost continuously. I am a retired heath care professional and would highly recommend this product to anyone needed to use cryotherapy. The cost is extremely reasonable.

Details: I am on day one of recovery from total hip replacement. I started icing my hip when I got home from surgery center. I kept it on a schedule all night. It has helped tremendously. I also recommend the leg elevation pillow. Those two together help with recovery.

Details: First I want to say how great their Customer Service is. They helped me get the right pad to accommodate two surgeries I have upcoming. I like how I can use frozen water bottles in the machine. It makes setup and replacing the bottles a snap. I am a 67 yr old widow living on my own, so ease of set up is important. The wired controls are awesome. I highly recommend getting
