Nexstim Receives Two New NBS System Orders in the United States
Nexstim Plc (NXTMH:HEX, NXTMS:STO) ("Nexstim" or "Company") announces that it has recently received two new NBS System orders from two large medical institutions in the United States.
Nexstim NBS System uses Company’s unique SmartFocus® TMS technology that enables accurate stimulation of the targeted area in patient’s brain. NBS System is the only FDA cleared system based on navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (nTMS) for non-invasive mapping of the speech and motor cortices of the brain.
Nexstim NBS systems are used mainly for neurosurgical diagnostics: One of the most crucial pieces of information needed for neurosurgery is the tumour’s location in relation to the essential functions and their connections in the patient’s brain. SmartFocus® nTMS mapping with Nexstim’s NBS system can give this information regarding motor and speech areas — it can be invaluable when deciding the best treatment option.
Like Nexstim’s NBT® systems, NBS Systems are used worldwide also in conducting research concerning treatment and diagnostics of several different brain diseases and disorders.
Mikko Karvinen, CEO of Nexstim Plc commented: “We are happy to welcome these two medical institutions in the United States to our SmartFocus® user family where several renowned medical institutions around the world already use the NBS systems. The NBS business remains a good and steady revenue source for Nexstim, also during these unfortunate times of COVID-19, as neurosurgical operations are still in place in many hospitals.”
