ATLANTA, Sept. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Femasys, Inc., (Nasdaq: FEMY), a leading biomedical company focused on addressing significant unmet needs of women worldwide with a broad portfolio of in-office, accessible, and innovative therapeutic and diagnostic products, announces that the Company has secured strategic distribution partnerships for its CE-marked products, including FemaSeed® and FemVue® in Spain. Comercial Medico Quirurigca, SA (CMQ) will distribute the products in northern Spain and Durgalab will distribute them in the south. Spain is the first EU country where the Company has identified distributors and began marketing its products.

Kathy-Lee Sepsick, Femasys Founder and CEO commented, “Today’s announcement marks a significant step in our global expansion and reinforces our mission to empower women across the world with new, innovative and superior healthcare solutions. Our distribution partners have extensive expertise in women’s healthcare and a strong understanding of the value of our infertility portfolio. Their commitment to purchase a minimum of $1.3 million of FemaSeed over the next year gives us great confidence in their ability to expand access to our affordable and effective solutions for women.”

“It is an honor to partner with Femasys to bring the latest technology for infertility treatment that is more cost-effective than IVF or ICSI and an improvement to traditional IUI to the Spain market,” said Jordi Pié, CMQ’s Founder and CEO. “We have been preparing as we awaited the availability of Femasys’ products with the CE mark under MDR and are thrilled to provide FemaSeed along with the other diagnostic products.”
