Abstract
An improved system described herein equipped with one or more Pulsed Field Electroporation (PFE) electrodes configured to cause localized and targeted PFE output at the targeted tissue, for example, in an ear, nose, or throat.
Claims25
A pulsed field electroporation (PFE) system configured to deliver PFE pulses to nasal tissue, comprising:
- a handheld PFE tool having a handle, an elongated shaft extending distally from the handle toward a bendable distal shaft portion, and a bulbous treatment tip extending distally from the bendable distal shaft portion and having a PFE electrode configured to deliver PFE pulses to nasal tissue adjacent to the bulbous treatment tip, the bulbous treatment tip having a maximum lateral width of less than 5 mm and being insertable into a nasal passageway;
- and
- a PFE control console configured to receive a connector of the handheld PFE tool, the PFE control console including a user interface display and a PFE generator configured to output from the PFE electrode a pulsed field according to a predefined pattern of pulses having a voltage within a range from 850 V to 10,000 V and a pulse duration of 0.05 microseconds (μs) to 3 μs to induce irreversible electroporation in the nasal tissue.
