Bioventus Announces First Commercial Shipment Of Bioness Integrated Therapy System Balance System

Bioventus Inc. (NASDAQ:BVS) ("Bioventus" or the "Company"), a global leader in innovations for active healing, announced the first commercial shipments of the Bioness Integrated Therapy System (BITS) for Balance. BITS(r) Balance accelerates the value of the BITS platform by adding over 40 new programs and assessments, leveraging proprietary motion sensing technology on any easy to use, adjustable balance platform. From independent physical therapy practices, to regional medical centers, and national providers, the technology will aid clinicians in challenging, assessing, and tracking patients' balance, stability, and strength, ultimately maximizing therapy outcomes.



"This improvement to BITS Balance will further aid patients in their rehabilitation journey, and make it easier for therapists to provide exceptional care," said John Nosenzo, Chief Commercial Officer, Bioventus. "Our dedicated clinical partners all have the same goal in mind, to improve patient outcomes."

New research continues to amplify the increased need for rehabilitation, bringing it to the forefront of patient care. According to a recent study published in American Physical Therapy Association, one in three people worldwide had a condition that rehabilitation could have helped, from both a cognitive and physical level.1 It is important to note that with each patient and case, the situation is unique and the needs are particular. BITS Balance was designed to create personalized training sessions for every level of mobility, and reduce the time needed to administer tests and analyze results, saving valuable time, while providing critical insight on patient outcomes and progression.
