ATLANTA, July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Femasys, Inc., (Nasdaq: FEMY), a leading biomedical innovator addressing significant unmet needs in women’s health worldwide, with a broad portfolio of disruptive, accessible, in-office therapeutic and diagnostic products announces the achievement of regulatory approvals in Australia and New Zealand for its next-generation infertility solutions: FemaSeed® for first-line intratubal insemination treatment and FemVue® for diagnostic evaluation.
“Securing regulatory approvals in Australia and New Zealand mark another important step in expanding global access to our innovative infertility solutions,” said Kathy Lee-Sepsick, CEO and Founder of Femasys. “With FemaSeed and FemVue, we are delivering much-needed, first-line options that address critical gaps in care for women struggling with infertility.

About FemaSeed
FemaSeed® is a next-generation artificial insemination solution that enhances fertilization by precisely delivering sperm to the fallopian tube, the natural site of conception. Offering a safe, accessible, and cost-effective first-line treatment, FemaSeed provides a more effective alternative to intrauterine insemination (IUI). In the pivotal clinical trial (NCT0468847), it achieved over double the pregnancy rates of IUI in cases of low male sperm count.1 FemaSeed is an affordable, less invasive, lower-risk option before IVF. It is authorized for use in the U.S., Europe, UK, Canada, Israel, Australia and New Zealand. Learn more at .
About FemVue
FemVue® is a transformative, ultrasound-based alternative to radiologic imaging procedures for evaluating fallopian tube patency. It creates natural saline and air contrast for a safe, reliable, real-time assessment, all within the comfort of the gynecologist’s office. When combined with a uterine cavity evaluation, it offers a comprehensive fertility exam. Because FemaSeed® requires at least one open fallopian tube, FemVue serves as an essential companion diagnostic to guide appropriate patient selection. It is authorized for use in the U.S., Japan, Europe, UK, Canada, Israel, Australia and New Zealand. Learn more at .
