TORONTO and BOSTON, Oct. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BIONIK Laboratories Corp. (OTCQB: BNKL) ("BIONIK" or the "Company"), a pioneering healthcare company combining artificial intelligence and innovative robotics technology to help individuals from hospital to home to regain mobility, announced today it has entered into a purchase order with Clinique Les Trois Soleils in Boissise-le-Roi, France for the Company's InMotion Arm™ robot.

The purchase order is for one of BIONIK's improved InMotion Arm™ robotic systems, whose launch was announced this year and recently received a "CE marking" from the European Commission. The CE marking signifies that products sold in the European Economic Area (EEA) have been assessed to meet high safety, health and environmental protection requirements. Clinique Les Trois Soleils already owns three units of earlier models of the InMotion Arm™ and Wrist™ robotic systems.

"We are thrilled to partner with BIONIK once again to provide innovative technology and therapeutic solutions to our patients. BIONIK's InMotion Arm™ system has empowered our patients to succeed in their rehabilitation treatment, providing improved outcomes for many," said Paul Gobin, Chief Executive Officer of Clinique Les Trois Soleils. "We are always seeking out new technologies that can enhance the treatment we offer to our patients, and BIONIK's InMotion Arm™ is an example of that commitment. We look forward to our continued relationship with BIONIK and to improving the lives of our patients on a daily basis through the use of industry-leading technology."
Clinique Les Trois Soleils offers versatile and comprehensive rehabilitation programs for patients recovering from orthopedic, musculoskeletal or neurological injuries. It is the first private for-profit rehabilitation center in the Île-de-France region to develop a neurological arm rehabilitation robotics center, with 68 inpatient beds for patients undergoing rehabilitation following stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis or other neurological conditions.

Clinique Les Trois Soleils has also published many key studies with the InMotion robotic systems and continues to conduct clinical trials with patients following stroke. Studies led by Dr. Christophe Duret and his colleagues have investigated the effectiveness of robotic therapy when combined with, or compared to, usual care, and demonstrated the beneficial impact of robotics on the motor recovery process.
