ATLANTA, Oct. 02, 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 received its second order from its strategic distribution partners after successfully completing its first commercial FemaSeed^® procedures in Europe. Members of the Femasys team traveled to Madrid to in-service healthcare practitioners on the innovative FemaSeed infertility treatment, designed to enhance natural fertilization by precisely delivering sperm into the fallopian tube where conception occurs.

“We are thrilled to receive another order from our distribution partners in Spain exemplifying their confidence after successful completion of FemaSeed treatment procedures,” stated Kathy-Lee Sepsick, Femasys CEO commented, “The need for a lower cost infertility treatment prior to in vitro fertilization is ever so important particularly in the public sector where women often have to wait years to receive an IVF. We are going to continue working tirelessly to provide our first-line solution to as many women in the U.S. and across the world as possible.”

Earlier in September, Femasys announced its strategic distribution partnerships for 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.
