Publication number: 20240131328Abstract: An electroporation device adapted to perform the following operations: detect the resistance value RA,B between a pair of electrodes placed in a portion of human tissue; calculate, select and store a pair of values of total duration ?(n,t) and voltage V that satisfy the inequality: ? · [ ( V / d ) ] 2 · ? ? ( n , t ) ? > A ? D R where: ADR represents the energy dose that realises a reversible electroporation—the energy dose ADR is a known value stored in the device; ? is defined as the inverse of resistivity ?=1/; d is the spacing of the electrodes; the resistivity =R*S/d where R denotes the measured and stored resistance value and S the section of the electrodes; and control a power amplifier so that a voltage equal to the voltage V is applied to the electrodes and supplied to the tissue portion for the determined total duration ?.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: IGEA S.P.A.Inventors: Roberta FUSCO, Francesca DE TERLIZZI, Ruggero CADOSSI, Donata MARAZZI
