Brace Direct BlueIce Cold Therapy Circulation Machine with Universal Pad- Back, Knee, Hip, Shoulder, Ankle- Quiet Cryotherapy Pain Relief for Post Surgical, Arthritis, and Swelling

I got this to ice my leg after my total knee replacement. It’s easy to use. I filled it with a combination of ice cubes and five frozen 12oz water bottles. Using the bottles makes lighter and easier when you empty the container. Take out the water bottles and you have less water weight to lift and pour out. I kept two sets of five bottles. I’d keep two sets in circulation. One set in the machine and another in the freezer ready to go.

I am getting ready for shoulder surgery on Tuesday. I had a previous machine but it was broken when I lent it out to a friend. She replaced it with this Blue Ice. I am looking forward to using it as I am a nurse and ice therapy is the best medicine for pain swelling and recovery. I look forward to using this. The parts I have, is this universal for use on a shoulder. If it’s not, could you rush me overnight or asap a universal pad to use for my shoulder. Thank you!!

I used this religiously after hip arthroscopy surgery. Well worth the price for the convenience and relief provided in the early weeks post op. Very easy to use and I used frozen water bottles instead of ice!

I have had 2 of these Circulation Machines. One I got from the Hospital when I had knee sugery and this one in April of 2023 for Hip replacement. This one is not as powerful as the one I got at the hospital. but it works well. If you get any kind of a kink ini the hose or the pad it stops working. Thus the power issue. But I just worked out eh kink and it works fine. The more powerful motor give you stronger circulqation the for the price this one kept my hip frosty and pain free. I wish I had kept the first Circulation Machine but I will definotly hang on to this one. The velcro starps are a little cumbersome and even when I looked at the pictures I couldn't get it to fit on my hip as well as it showed in the pictures. I end up just sitting on it or holding it in place.

I was in a pretty bad car accident and had to have sure on my pelvis and socket where the bone goes into. 3 hours on the operating table, 2 plates, 8 screws, and 56 stitches later I was good to go. I was using ice pads at first but not being able to walk made it pretty tough to get new cold pads. I ordered this Blue Ice cold therapy machine and thank God I did, it has completely changed my recovery. I freeze water bottles, fill the water the the water line, add the bottles, and then top it off with ice and I'm getting below freezing temperature water flowing through the pad wherever it's placed; all night long. It would be 5 star but it can be a hassle getting the hose/pad positioned where you want it so I suggest ordering some sports wrap with the machine so that you can wrap the pad in place and not worry about it. The other thing is if you kink the hose where it meets the pad you will lose pressure, so finding a good spot to sports wrap the hose in a position where it won't kink the line is very important. I would rate it at 4.5 currently but that's not an option.
