The Polar Care Wave System is intended to treat post-surgical and acute injuries to reduce edema, swelling, and pain where cold and compression are indicated. It is intended to be used by or on the order of licensed healthcare professionals in hospitals, outpatient clinics, athletic training settings, or home settings.

The Polar Care Wave system is an AC powered, software controlled, multimodality system. The device is intended for application of external cold therapy and intermittent pneumatic compression therapy to be used by, or on the order of, licensed healthcare professionals in hospitals, outpatient clinics, athletic training settings, or home settings. The device features a multi-setting cold therapy module and multi-setting compression therapy module which can be run simultaneously or independently. The device contains three key parts: A cold-compression pad with connector, an insulated container to hold ice and water, and a lid that contains a water pump and air pump, electronics to control the pumps, tubing, and an intuitive keypad to operate the device. The device is intended to be used with Breg Cold-Compression pads only, which are designed for specific application sites. The cold-compression pads are connected to the lid tubing and are applied to the body to deliver cold and intermittent compression therapy. The cold compression pads are made of flexible materials that form two bladders. The dual-bladder design allows cold water to continuously flow through one of the bladders to provide cold therapy, and air to be cyclically pumped into and released from a second bladder to provide intermittent pneumatic compression therapy. The insulated container is filled with ice and water by the user. The water circulates through the cold-compression pad to deliver cold therapy to the application site. The lid which houses the electronics, water pump, and air pump, is sealed and not accessible by the user. The lid also houses the keypad, which controls the device and allows the user to select the therapies as directed by a healthcare professional.
