Femasys CEO and Founder Kathy Lee-Sepsick Meets with Members of Congress to Raise Awareness of the Company and Discuss Women’s Healthcare Initiatives
18 April 2024 - 2:30PM
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, today announces its CEO and
Founder Kathy Lee-Sepsick has met with several members of Congress
to discuss the current women’s healthcare landscape. Further,
Lee-Sepsick is raising awareness of Femasys and the status of its
reproductive products in light of the recently announced women’s
health initiative from the White House. In mid-March President
Biden released an executive order, which calls for a $200M
investment in research for women’s health and a coordinated
approach from more than 20 federal government agencies in addition
to the $100M investment announced in November 2023.
“Women’s health remain vastly underserved and underfunded but we
are encouraged by the interest our solutions have received during
recent meetings with members of Congress,” remarked Lee-Sepsick. “I
am proud to be a female-founder and to lead Femasys as we develop
revolutionary technologies that provide a continuum of care that
are safe, affordable and accessible to women. It is our goal to
empower women throughout their reproductive journey by delivering
innovative options to meet their needs.”
Femasys provides minimally-invasive solutions that share
delivery platforms. It has four commercially available products:
FemaSeed® – FDA-cleared, intratubal insemination, FemVue® –
contrast-generating device, FemCath® – selective delivery catheter,
and FemCerv® – endocervical tissue sampler. And its current lead
product candidate in late-stage clinical development is FemBloc® –
permanent birth control.
The Company recently announced topline data from its FemaSeed
pivotal trial, which investigated FemaSeed in women with a variety
of infertility factors with the primary efficacy analysis focused
on the male factor infertility. FemaSeed demonstrated 24% of women
became pregnant after FemaSeed with male factor (1 million to 20
million total motile sperm count (TMSC)). Although permitted to
have multiple FemaSeed attempts, the majority of women who became
pregnant did so after the first FemaSeed procedure.

conjunction with FemCath®, an intrauterine catheter for selective
fallopian tube evaluation, and FemCerv®, an endocervical tissue
sampler for cervical cancer diagnosis. For more information visit
