How to apply the Breg Polar WrapOn Shoulder Pad
- Discuss treatment with your licensed health care practitioner. Provide a complete medical history including any reactions to cold. Certain medical conditions make cold- induced injury more likely.
- Use only according to your practitioner’s instructions regarding the frequency and duration of cold application and breaks, proper temperature.
- Apply an insulation barrier that provides complete coverage between the Polar Pad and skin. Do not let any part of the Pad touch skin.
- If a sterile dressing has been applied to the treatment site that does not completely cover the skin under the pad, use an additional insulation barrier. The Pad alone is too cold to be applied directly to the skin.
- Apply the Polar Pad with the plastic channeled side towards the skin. Refer to the graphics below and on the reverse side.
- Connect the Polar Pad couplings to the Polar Care unit couplings.
- Follow the Polar Care Operating Instructions and Product Insert inside the pouch; both are axed to the unit.
- Inspect the skin under the Polar Pad as prescribed, typically every 1 to 2 hours.
- To end cold therapy, disconnect electrical power and press the two metal tabs on the hose coupling and gently pull apart or remove the Polar Pad from your body.
Precautions to take while using the WrapOn Polar Shoulder Pad
- Do not use the Polar Care if dressing, wrapping, bracing, or casting over the Polar Pad prevents skin checks.
- Do not wrap pad so tightly as to restrict normal circulation, as this can cause injury.
- Stop using and contact your practitioner immediately if you experience any adverse reactions, such as: increased pain, burning, increased swelling, itching, blisters, increased redness, discoloration, welts, other changes in skin appearance, or any other reaction identified by your practitioner.
