Nexstim Plc (NXTMH:HEX) ("Nexstim" or "Company") has received an order for a new NBS 5+ including NexSpeech®, to the Boston VA Medical Center.
Nexstim’s NBS (Navigated Brain Stimulation) System 5 is indicated for the non-invasive, presurgical mapping of motor cortices prior to neurosurgery. With the addition of the NexSpeech® module, speech cortices can also be mapped non-invasively. At the Boston VA hospital, the NBS 5+ will be used to map epilepsy patients. The data can then be used, should patients undergo neurosurgery.
Mikko Karvinen, CEO of Nexstim, comments: “We are very happy to see our NBS systems continued expansion in helping more US neurosurgeons treating epilepsy patients. Presurgical mapping of the brain with our technology offers the chance to improve outcomes and patients’ quality of life. We warmly welcome Boston VA Hospital to our user community.”
