Brainlab collaboration with Nexstim

Brainlab and Nexstim, a Finnish, globally operating medical technology company, have started a new collaboration by signing a development and distributorship cooperation agreement today. Nexstim has created a world-leading non-invasive brain mapping technology based on navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS). Together, the two companies will develop new solutions and improved workflows in the neurosurgery field.

“We have been following this technology for quite some time, are convinced by the clinical successes of nTMS to date, and see it as a valuable addition to our portfolio for preserving neurological function,” said Stefan Vilsmeier, President and CEO, Brainlab. “Through this collaboration, we’re expanding and deepening nTMS integration with navigation and intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM)—a development we believe will be a key factor in driving the adoption of nTMS. We see this technology as highly relevant for many of our customers, particularly in enhancing treatment during neurosurgical procedures.”
