--Initiation of access to FemBloc, a revolutionary non-surgical permanent contraceptive, as global availability accelerates-- ATLANTA, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Femasys Inc. (NASDAQ: FEMY), a leading biomedical innovator making fertility and non-surgical permanent birth control more accessible and cost-effective to women worldwide, announced its first commercial entry into Europe with an order of approximately $400,000 USD for FemBloc Permanent Birth Control in Spain, the first country with an established distribution partnership. “We are proud to be executing on our mission to expand access to FemBloc, an innovative, non-surgical solution and the only advancement in permanent birth control that offers a less invasive alternative to current and formerly available methods,” said Kathy Lee-Sepsick, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Femasys Inc. “To support that mission, we selected our partners in Spain, Comercial Medico Quirúrgica and Durgalab, based on their successful track record commercializing complex women’s health technologies like Essure permanent contraceptive (originally by Conceptus and later acquired by Bayer). Their expertise and provider relationships make them ideal collaborators to introduce FemBloc, which will first become available in Spain, the first country in the world to offer access to this groundbreaking option. With a growing backlog of FemBloc product, we are focused on scaling production to meet anticipated demand as interest builds across Europe.” Jordi Escorihuela, Chief Executive Officer of Comercial Medico Quirúrgica, commented, “We are honored to partner with Femasys to bring FemBloc to Spain. Building on our experience in women’s health, we are prepared to implement FemBloc efficiently. Our longstanding relationships with healthcare providers and institutions position us to navigate both the public and private healthcare systems and support a successful, scalable rollout of this important advancement.” Francisco Javier Duran, Chief Executive Officer of Durgalab, added, “We are confident in bringing FemBloc to Spain, supported by its positive safety profile and compelling value proposition. FemBloc offers a meaningful opportunity to meet patient preferences while addressing the evolving priorities of our healthcare systems.” FemBloc is a first-of-its-kind, non-surgical solution for permanent birth control, addressing a significant unmet need in women’s reproductive health. It uses a patented delivery system to place a proprietary blended polymer into both fallopian tubes, which safely degrades and forms natural scar tissue for permanent occlusion. In contrast to surgical sterilization, FemBloc eliminates the risks of anesthesia, infection, and recovery downtime, making it safer, more accessible, and significantly more cost-effective. With no comparable alternatives on the market, FemBloc represents a disruptive advancement with broad global potential. Learn more at www.FemBloc.com.
