Bionic P&O Chosen as First Distributor of Ekso Indego® Personal Within the Orthotics & Prosthetics Industry

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:EKSO) (the "Company"), an industry leader in exoskeleton technology for medical and industrial use, today announced that it has named Bionic Prosthetics & Orthotics Group LLC ("Bionic P&O"), a leading national provider of prosthetic and orthotic solutions, as a non-exclusive Ekso Indego^® Personal device distributor.

Ekso Indego Personal is a wearable lower extremity powered exoskeleton that enables certain individuals living with spinal cord injuries ("SCIs") with the ability to stand and walk independently. It is the only known portable exoskeleton device to offer a modular quick connect design, which was engineered to allow users to put on and take off the device without assistance. Ekso Indego Personal is the lightest known commercial exoskeleton available offering ease of handling, transportation, and storage. Also offering an advanced gait mode, individuals with a SCI using the device have been shown to reach faster walking speeds, granting them a new level of independence in the community.

"This exciting new commercial alliance with a recognized leader like Bionic P&O aligns squarely with our mission of improving health and quality of life with advanced robotics designed to enhance, amplify, and restore human function," commented Scott Davis, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "From a business perspective, the successful marketing and distribution of an innovative device like Ekso Indego Personal requires deep insight into the particular market dynamics, the reimbursement landscape, and above all, the needs of patients served within the community. I cannot think of a better choice than Bionic P&O as our first distributor for Ekso Indego Personal within the important orthotics and prosthetics industry."

"True innovation that supports patients in reaching their goals, paired with compassionate care, is the cornerstone of Bionic P&O's success. Bionic P&O's mission is to empower individuals to live more independent and fulfilling lives. We believe the Ekso Indego Personal device will make a lasting positive impact on our patients' lives and has the potential to transform the orthotics and prosthetics industry," said Daniel Chan, National Business Development Manager at Bionic P&O. "We are thrilled by our alliance with Ekso Bionics. Together, we are paving the way for a future where spinal cord injury patients can not only dream of walking again, but actively work towards that goal."
