The Breg Polar Care VPulse Shoulder Cold Therapy and Compression System comes with everything to get started.  Recommended after Shoulder surgery or after a shoulder injury!

Add the optional Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) prevention kit to have the benefits of the full system.  Not sure if the optional DVT prevention kit is needed?  Read this blog on Understanding Deep Vein Thrombosis: Risk Factors and Prevention after Surgery.

Why rent when you can buy for the same price.  This is the most complete home system on the market!

The system reduces swelling and inflammation, improves range of movement, and can reduce blood loss.  It can help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) which can occur after surgery.  It also reduces your pain levels, ultimately helping provide a quicker recovery.

You can add another pad and use both pads at the same time with the optional Y-Adapter.

The Breg Polar Care VPulse helps patients achieve complete, comfortable recoveries through delivery of three distinct therapies:

• Motorized cold therapy to help reduce operative site swelling, discomfort and inflammation. – ≥ 55°F average operating temperature at the pad for up to 8 hours.
• Wound compression to further help reduce operative site inflammation – 50 mmHg of average peak compression
• Rapid impulse calf compression pads to help prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) – optional.

Features and Benefits of the Breg VPulse Shoulder Cold Therapy and Compression System

• Lowers Risk of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE): VPULSE lowers incidence of VTE after major orthopedic surgery compared to pharmacological prophylaxis.  VTE is the leading factor for hospital readmission following major orthopedic surgery and the most common preventable cause of hospital death.
• Provides Possible Alternative to Anticoagulants: VPULSE offers physicians another option to help tailor preventative care to patient risk and provides an alternative for patients contraindicated for anticoagulants.
• Provides Convenient Home Therapy: As hospital stays continue to shorten, VPULSE provides a solution for patients to take home and keep.  This allows facilities to offer mechanical DVT prophylaxis for the 2-3 weeks patients need it most, without the hassle of renting or servicing equipment.
• Improves Patient Experience: Combining three therapies into one convenient device optimizes patient comfort during recovery.  With motorized cold therapy and accompanying water bottles, patients avoid the hassle of frequently switching out ice cubes or gel packs.
• Improves Compliance: The added comfort of cold and compression therapies may increase patient compliance compared to DVT prophylaxis alone. A removable data card records patient compliance to enable physician monitoring.
• Lowers Total Cost: Bundled payment of care initiatives are driving single payment for an orthopedic episode within 30 days of surgery, including costly DVT readmissions.  By reducing DVT-related expenses and potentially reducing costs for anticoagulant regimes or compression device rental programs, VPULSE helps reduce the total cost of the episode.
• Many Options:  You can have work two joints at once with the optional Y-Adapter.  This requires the purchase of another VPulse pad.

The Polar Breg VPulse Shoulder cold therapy & compression system is a great alternative to more costly systems like Game Ready or ThermoTek VascuTherm 5.
