Abstract
A pulse generating device for delivery of electrical pulses to a desired tissue and configured to be connected to needle electrodes arranged at the desired tissue. The device comprises a determining module configured to determine a primary voltage amplitude of a first pulse and a number of consecutive pulses to be generated. Further, the device comprises a pulse generator configured to generate one or more of the determined number of consecutive pulses such that the generated first pulse has the primary voltage amplitude and that the generated consecutive pulses have a respective voltage amplitude consecutively decreasing between consecutive pulses, whereby an increase in a current value of the generated consecutive pulses above a threshold value is avoided. Furthermore, the device comprises a terminating module configured to terminate generation of the one or more pulses when a value of a total absorbed energy exceeds a threshold value.
