Double Drug-Free Pain Relief
The Active Ice® 3.0 Double System Kit comes with two therapy pads, delivering steady, drug-free pain relief to two treatment areas at the same time. The dual-pad design targets multiple areas simultaneously while the insulated outer fabric directs maximum cold therapy to each treatment area, providing comfortable, effective relief where you need it most.
High-flow, dry, quick-disconnect couplings allow for freedom of movement when needed. Durable insulated tubing ensures smooth water flow, so unlike traditional ice packs that warm up quickly and slip out of place, the Active Ice® 3.0 circulates cold water continuously for hours, often through the night.
Personalized Cooling at Your Fingertips
Our patent-pending timer allows you to set custom cold therapy "on" and "off" duration cycles per your healthcare provider's instruction — a critical safety feature!
Choose from 4 coldness levels depending on your comfort and desire, and rest easy knowing the convenient on/off button eliminates any potential danger from fumbling in the dark to plug in or unplug your system.
Long-Lasting Cooling
One of the largest cooling reservoirs in the industry, available in a 9-quart or 16-quart size. The 9-quart holds up to six standard size 500 ml frozen water bottles while the 16-quart holds up to twelve — twice the capacity of our biggest competitors — so you get twice the cold therapy before needing a refill.
Frozen water bottles are a reusable, convenient alternative to ice that can be easily swapped out with a fresh set from the freezer once thawed, eliminating the need to drain melted water and making life easier for caregivers too. The hinged lid snaps firmly in place to keep everything sealed and mess-free. Simply add ice or frozen water bottles and you're ready to go.
Quiet Yet Powerful Performance
The whisper-quiet, high-efficiency pump continuously circulates cold water throughout the therapy pad, delivering steady, effective cold therapy without noise or interruption. Powerful enough to keep cold water flowing for hours, yet quiet enough to run through the night without disturbing your sleep.

- Certain medical conditions may be more susceptible to cold-related injuries. Ask your practitioner about any potential adverse reactions.
- Caution: use of cold therapy by children, diabetics, incapacitated patients, and those with poor circulation or special skin conditions should be carefully supervised by a medical professional.
- Use only as prescribed by a licensed healthcare practitioner and follow all of his or her instructions regarding the frequency and duration of cold therapy, proper temperature, how and when to check the skin, and length of treatment.
- Completely read and follow all included Operation Instructions, Warnings, and Cautions before using the Active Ice® 3.0 System.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the 9-QT and 16-QT Active Ice® Cold Therapy Machine?
Both systems work the same and include the same features, therapy pads, and programmable controls.The main difference is size and cooling time:9-QT: More compact with a flip carry handle, ideal when space and weight matter.16-QT: Larger cooling reservoir holds twice as many frozen water bottles, delivering about twice the cold therapy time between changes. Includes a retractable handle and wheels for easier transport.
How long does the cooling effect last with the Active Ice® Cold Therapy Machine?
Cooling time can vary based on several factors, but many customers report 6–8 hours of cooling with the 9-quart system. The 16-quart system typically provides 12–16 hours between ice changes.Several things affect how long the cooling lasts:
Body Heat: Everyone generates different levels of body heat. As the system pulls heat away from the treated area, the ice or frozen bottles will melt. This is a sign the therapy is working.
Cycle Time: Longer therapy sessions will require more frequent ice or bottle changes. Always follow your healthcare provider’s recommended therapy schedule.
Cooling Setting: Higher flow settings (1–4) deliver colder therapy but use ice faster. Lower settings help extend cooling time.
Type of Ice Used: Frozen water bottles last significantly longer than loose ice. That’s why Active Ice® Systems are designed to hold standard 16 oz frozen water bottles, creating a larger, longer-lasting cooling source than traditional ice.
Is the Active Ice® Cold Therapy Machine suitable for post-surgical recovery?
Yes. The Active Ice® Cold Therapy System is commonly used for post-surgical recovery, post-injury care, and general pain management. It delivers consistent, localized cold therapy to help reduce swelling, calm inflammation, minimize muscle spasms, and provide drug-free pain relief. With a variety of therapy pad options for different body parts, it can support recovery for a wide range of needs.
How does the Polar Active Ice® Cold Therapy Machine help with recovery?
Our systems deliver consistent cold therapy with gentle compression while the insulated outer fabric helps direct maximum cooling to the targeted area. Cold therapy works by slowing blood flow to the injury, which may help reduce swelling, minimize muscle spasms, and support the body’s natural recovery process. All with effective, drug-free pain relief.

Active Ice Double knee system was the key factor he believes was the reason he healed so quickly. Now he is ordering the Shoulder Bladder for his next surgery.
Your product was an integral part of my recovery from double knee surgery. I had torn both of my quad tendons from the bone as a result of an accident. The inflammation was unbelievable! In the absence of the Active Ice® System, I do not believe that my overall recovery would have been as successful. I cannot think of a viable substitute. After surgery, my neighbor gave me the use of his system. After several weeks, I was sold and contacted Polar Products to acquire one of my own. I'm so glad that I did. My recommendation: Buy one of these units to facilitate recovery. You''ll not be disappointed!!
