Press release, Helsinki, 9 December 2020 at 9.30 am (EET)
Nexstim Plc (NXTMH:HEX, NXTMS:STO) ("Nexstim" or "Company") announces that it has received two NBS System orders from Germany in December.
One NBS System order came from a university where the system will be used for an R&D project. The project’s focus is on studying the possibilities to add further assistance to the NBS system to deliver guided and individualized stimulation.
The second order is for an NBS System upgrade where the hospital’s existing system will be upgraded with the latest SmartFocus® nTMS features that will replace the older system platform. In addition to pre-operative mapping, the upgrade makes it possible to use the system for depression and pain therapy. In Europe, Nexstim’s NBS system can be used also for therapeutic applications.
Mikko Karvinen, CEO of Nexstim, commented: “We are happy to announce these NBS System orders. Germany is an important market area for Nexstim and there are also several hospitals and clinics with whom we have worked to develop our technology further to help more patients.”
