Bregs Polar Care500® is a type of cold therapy device that is used to help reduce swelling and minimize pain for patients who have had certain surgeries and sports-related injuries. Also known as cryotherapy, cold therapy refers to treating an injury with ice. For years, people used ice packs to reduce swelling and help with inflammation. Today, there are actual devices, such as Bregs Polar Care500® that are designed to produce a continuous flow of cold water from a chest through a tube to a cooling pad that is to be applied to the injured area.
A patient will apply the pad to the injured area for specific amounts of time. If the cold pad is left on the injured area for too long, the patient may suffer from nerve damage, frostbite and/or tissue damage. The effects can be excruciating and can even lead to amputation.
If you’ve been injured from a cryotherapy device such as Bregs Polar Care500®, you might be eligible to file a legal action that would seek out compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering. For more information, contact our cryotherapy attorneys today.
Our product liability lawyers have extensive experience handling cases involving defective medical devices. In the case of the Bregs Polar Care500® and other devices that are similar, the question is not whether the device is defective, but rather, whether a patient was provided with enough instruction on how to use it properly to avoid serious injury.
A lawsuit may be brought about if there is not explicit instruction on how long to use the device. Some plaintiffs claim the manufacturer failed to warn them of the potential dangers associated with the device. If you feel that your injury could have been prevented if you were adequately warned of the dangers, you may have a case.
To find out how we can help you, contact a cryotherapy attorney today. We will listen to your case in private, free of charge, to determine if you have a legitimate case. Once you decide to move forward with filing a lawsuit, we will commit ourselves to helping you recover the full amount of compensation you are entitled to.
