An irreversible electroporation system is a medical device assembly that delivers short, high-voltage electrical pulses to targeted tissue. These pulses create permanent pores in cell membranes, leading to cell death without relying on heat, and are used to ablate soft tissues such as tumors or blood vessel linings in a nonthermal manner.
Such systems are typically composed of a computerized pulse generator, user controls like a footswitch, ECG synchronization for cardiac safety, and sterile needle electrodes. They are supplied as complete assemblies requiring trained operators and are intended for use in clinical settings where precise tissue ablation is needed.
