Why the Spring2?

Pulsed RF is effective, safe and patient friendly

PRF is a patient friendly, safe and effective method to treat chronic pain. When radiofrequency is delivered in pulses -not continuously- heat arising from the energy has time to dissipate, avoiding any form of ablation. Studies show similarly good results as conventional RF; delivering the right amount of electromagnetic energy while always staying safe. Many studies have shown the benefits of pulsed radiofrequency when treating patients with chronic pain. Compared to continuous RF, patients experience less pain as a result of the treatment.

Transcutaneous PRF (TcPRF)

TcPRF radiofrequency therapy can be applied across the skin using skin electrodes in the close proximity of the painful area. The process of reducing oxidative stress, reactivating the immune cells and as a result of that reduced inflammation, is achieved just as effectively, but without needles, drugs and the need for an operating theatre.

More power in TcPRF-mode than current devices

Most RF-devices are primarily designed and manufactured for invasive use. As transcutaneous PRF became a more frequently applied treatment, medical doctors started using that same device for transcutaneous treatments as well. This results in relatively low currents for TcPRF, where sometimes higher currents are needed, especially in case of obese patients (fat increases the impedance). The Spring2 can deliver higher amplitudes, which are likely to give better results, depending on the area to be treated.

Safety due to the dedicated disposable Springlife skin electrodes

Safety and efficacy are fundamental requirements. Springlife electrodes are recognized by the Spring2 and will maximize PRF energy that is safe, based on electrode size. This means that the output can be set to a desired Amplitude, but will be limited to a maximum, depending on the size of the connected electrodes.

The Spring2 electrodes come in three sizes:

Small (5.5 x 5.5 cm)
Medium (6 x 12 cm)
Large (8 x 15 cm)

Amps not Volts

Amperes show the electrical current, i.e. the amount of electrons flowing between the pads each second. Voltage is only the pressure driving these electrons and based on resistance, the flow can be reduced. The Spring2 adjusts voltage based on impedance to maintain desired amount of energy.

Practical due to compact sizes

It is a perfect device to for use in different clinics or in different rooms within a clinic. It can be easily carried since it is lightweight, compact and it has a grip for easy handling.

For convenience we designed a special backpack that perfectly fits the Spring2, as well as other personal belongings. Furthermore, we have an especially designed trolley to fit the Spring2 so it can be easily moved around in the clinic.

Priced cost effectively

Although most (P)RF-generators are in the higher price range, the Spring2 could be kept in an attractive price range. This makes the Spring2 a good option for a second treatment room.

Intuitive User Interface

Starting point for the design of the user interface was to operate the Spring2 without the need to refer to the Instructions for Use. A touch screen guides the user through the different modes and settings.
Naturally, we have the Instructions for Use in case things are unclear. We also have an animation video made in which the different settings are shown.

How does the Spring2 work

Fleur Sluijter (Founder of Springlife
medical) about the future of PRF

Springlife was founded on a legacy and a vision. My father pioneered Pulsed Radiofrequency (PRF) technology for the treatment of chronic pain, and since childhood I have seen how innovation in medicine can change lives. Today, chronic pain remains one of the greatest health challenges worldwide, and I believe the future lies in treatments that are minimally invasive, patient-friendly, and scientifically sound. With Springlife, I am determined to bring my father’s knowledge into the next generation of medical solutions. Our mission is ambitious yet simple: to make PRF part of the standard toolbox of every pain physician around the globe. We envision a world where pain is treated with precision, without unnecessary damage or invasive interventions. Where physicians are empowered with tools that work with the body, not against it. Springlife is more than a company — it is a mission to redefine how chronic pain is treated. And we are only at the beginning of this journey.
