RENULIFE HIGH-FREQUENCY VIOLET RAY SYSTEM

​

Overview

This Renulife system is a strong example of American clinical violet ray design, built with a focus on solidity, repeatability, and sustained output rather than decorative excess.

Everything about the layout is intentional — from the spacing of the electrodes to the placement of the control dial and handpiece routing.

It’s a serious, no-nonsense unit.

Design & Build Character

Renulife units are known for:

  • Robust internal construction

  • Stable output under continuous use

  • Conservative, confidence-driven design choices

The polished wooden control panel and deep velvet interior give this unit a restrained elegance without drifting into ornamentation.

Output Behaviour

The output character is:

  • Smooth and consistent

  • Strong without being aggressive

  • Easy to regulate across the full range

  • Particularly well suited to larger electrodes

This is a unit that feels composed and grounded — not sharp or erratic.

Electrode Set

The included electrode selection provides excellent functional coverage:

  • Mushroom electrode for broad surface work

  • Curved anatomical electrode for contour following

  • Comb / rake electrode

  • Precision point and probe electrodes

The clear glass construction allows full visibility of plasma behaviour during operation.

Electrical Architecture

As with all true violet ray systems, operation is based on:

  • High voltage

  • Extremely low current

  • Rapid oscillation

  • Dielectric glass coupling

The visible glow is secondary — the real work occurs at the field level.

Condition & Function

The unit has been fully electrically restored, with all capacitors replaced as standard and the circuit tested under load.

Output is stable, predictable, and exactly as intended.

Case & Presentation

The original case presents very well, featuring:

  • Deep velvet lining

  • Secure electrode mounts

  • Clean internal layout

It stores and transports the system properly while maintaining its period character.

Final Word

This Renulife violet ray system is:

  • Classic

  • Well-built

  • Fully functional

  • Historically authentic

A dependable, well-balanced clinical unit that delivers exactly what Renulife became known for — controlled power, stability, and longevity âš¡
