A system is provided for treating fatty tissue sites of a patient. At least first and second mono-polar electrodes are configured to be introduced at or near the fatty tissue site of the patient. A voltage pulse generator is coupled to the first and second mono-polar electrodes. The voltage pulse generator is configured to apply sufficient electrical pulses between the first and second mono-polar electrodes to induce electroporation of cells in the fatty tissue site, to create necrosis of cells of the fatty tissue site, but insufficient to create a thermal damaging effect to a majority of the fatty tissue site. The system can be incorporated into standard liposuction devices or used simultaneously to treat and remove the tissue.

L'invention concerne un système destiné à traiter des sites d'un tissu adipeux d'un patient. Au moins une première et une seconde électrodes monopolaires sont configurées pour être introduites dans ou à proximité du site du tissu adipeux du patient. Un générateur d'impulsions électriques est couplé aux électrodes monopolaires et configuré pour appliquer entre la première et la seconde électrodes monopolaires des impulsions électriques suffisantes pour déclencher dans le site du tissu adipeux une électroporation de cellules pouvant provoquer la nécrose de cellules du site du tissu adipeux, mais insuffisantes pour créer un effet thermique destructeur sur la majeure partie du site du tissu adipeux. Le système peut être incorporé dans des dispositifs de liposuccion standard, ou utilisé simultanément pour traiter et retirer le tissu.
