About FemaSeed

FemaSeed^® is an innovative infertility treatment designed to deliver sperm to the fallopian tube where conception occurs. It is intended to enhance natural fertilization and provide a first-line treatment option for those seeking pregnancy. FemaSeed is less invasive and more affordable than assisted reproduction procedures, such as IVF or ICSI. FemaSeed achieved U.S. FDA clearance (September 2023) and regulatory approval in Canada (April 2023) for patients seeking insemination. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, Femasys completed a pivotal clinical trial (LOCAL trial) for those seeking intratubal insemination with a specific focus on male factor infertility, a contributing factor in approximately 40-50% of infertility cases. Top-line data from this study is planned for release first quarter 2024 and will support the commercial launch targeted for the first half of 2024.
