Nexstim Receives an Order for Two NBT® Systems from Canada
Nexstim Plc (NXTMH:HEX, NXTMS:STO) ("Nexstim" or "Company") announces that it has received an order for two NBT® systems through Canadian Health Solutions (CHS), the Company’s distributor in Canada.
In 2021, Nexstim announced having extended its agreement with distributor CHS for an additional five years. Nexstim’s NBT® system is cleared for marketing and commercial distribution for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in Canada.
Dr. David Elias, CEO of the Canadian distributorship and head of Canadian Health Solutions Group, comments:
“An estimated 10 percent of Canadians use health services for mood and anxiety disorders annually. We are pleased to be the exclusive Canadian distributor for Nexstim’s Neuronavigational TMS NBT® system, a non-medication treatment that is based on a unique transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technology.
We are excited to place an order for two additional Nexstim Neuronavigational TMS systems which will help supplement the three originally acquired in May of 2021. Canadian Health Solutions (CHS) is committed to providing Canadians access to world-leading treatment for depression. With the opening of two clinics in New Brunswick, soon to be followed by a third clinic in Nova Scotia, we are just beginning to build on this commitment. Based upon our deep understanding and research into mental health issues, we believe Nexstim’s Neuronavigational system has great potential and can significantly benefit a large number of Canadians by providing a safe, effective and personalized treatment option for Major Depressive Discorders (MDD). We are very pleased to strengthen our partnership with Nexstim and to bring Neuronavigational TMS to Canadians.”
Mikko Karvinen, CEO of Nexstim, says: “At Nexstim, we work hard to enable personalized and effective therapies and diagnostics for challenging brain diseases and disorders. The Canadian market continues to be an important part of our growing business in North America, and we are happy to announce these sales as we continue bringing our mission to life.”
