Mar. 9, 2011 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
QUÉBEC, March 9 /CNW Telbec/ - B-Temia, an innovative
developer of dermoskeletons that assist the biomechanical capabilities
of the human body, and Revision Military, a leading global developer
and manufacturer of integrated soldier systems, announce their
financial and commercial partnership. B-Temia has closed financing from
Revision in addition to a strategic licensing agreement for the
commercialisation of its dermoskeletons in the Defence & Security
market.
The funds from Revision will be used to complete the development of the
company's first dermoskeleton, aimed at helping soldiers suffering from
musculoskeletal injuries. The system will decrease the effort required
to move and increase the efficiency of the soldier's movements while in
operation.
"Based in Canada and the United States as well as with a significant
presence in Europe, Revision has proven to be a major player in the
field of soldier protection and survivability. We are very proud to
team up with a formidable industry player like Revision," stated Stéphane Bédard, President and CEO of B-Temia.
B-Temia Military, a subsidiary of B-Temia, has signed an international
licensing agreement with Revision Military for the commercialization of
its dermoskeletons.
"We see musculoskeletal injuries and the associated non-deployment rates
of soldiers caused by heavy load carriage as a costly and painful
concern that military organizations around the world must address. The
market potential for B-Temia's dermoskeleton is tremendous. We are
excited to add this innovative technology to our portfolio of
purpose-built soldier equipment," said Jonathan Blanshay, CEO of Revision.
In addition to the Defence & Security market, B-Temia continues to
expand its activities in the field of clinical care. The dermoskeleton
could also have medical applications;—helping patients who suffer from
medical conditions such as cardiac disease, osteoarthritis or loss of
mobility.
