Press release, Helsinki, 10 December 2020 at 12.30 pm (EET)
Nexstim Plc (NXTMH:HEX, NXTMS:STO) ("Nexstim" or "Company") announces that it has received two new NBT® System orders in the United States.
One NBT® System is ordered by a new customer and the other one is ordered and delivered to a clinic that already has one NBT® System in use. Both clinics will use the system for depression therapy.
Nexstim’s NBT® System with SmartFocus® nTMS is highly differentiated from other currently available TMS products due to its unique and highly sophisticated 3D navigation that uses its proprietary E-field algorithm to visualize the exact location, orientation, and magnitude of the stimulation.
Mikko Karvinen, CEO of Nexstim commented: “These two system orders show again that there is clear demand for the novel, personalized TMS therapy that our NBT® system is able to deliver to patients with major depressive disorder. We are pleased to welcome new user clinic and very happy that our existing user has ordered a second system based on their frequent and successful usage of our SmartFocus® TMS Technology.”
