ATLANTA, Sept. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Femasys Inc. (NASDAQ: FEMY), a biomedical company aiming to meet women's needs worldwide by developing a suite of product candidates that include minimally invasive, in-office technologies for reproductive health, today announced the commercial availability of FemCerv^®, the first endocervical tissue sampler designed to improve tissue quality and quantity that is expected to be an improvement over the existing standard of care. The Company also announced the hiring of Michael Meier as Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

“In line with developing solutions to improve the continuum of healthcare options for women, we are pleased to announce the commercial availability of FemCerv,” said Kathy Lee-Sepsick, founder, president and chief executive officer of Femasys. “If a woman’s pap smear is abnormal, she generally needs to undergo a colposcopy, which includes endocervical curettage or taking a tissue sample from the very sensitive cervical canal. The tools available to collect this tissue are limited and can cause pain and extreme discomfort, often resulting in an inadequate or contaminated sample. FemCerv can be used in place of these antiquated products to capture and protect a comprehensive 360-degree tissue sample in a relatively pain free office visit. Now women and their healthcare providers can feel confident to rely on the accuracy of their results, potentially sparing women from unnecessary repeat examinations or more invasive procedures.”

Ms. Lee-Sepsick also added, “We are pleased to have Michael join our team at this exciting time as we broaden our commercial portfolio. His experience will be invaluable in overseeing Femasys commercial assets, including FemCerv’s availability and commercial-readiness of subsequent products in line with our mission to deliver innovative solutions in antiquated areas that may offer women a true change in their standard of care.”

Mr. Meier brings over 20 years of commercial experience to the Femasys team. He has a strong background in bringing innovative medical devices and diagnostic solutions to market as well as a proven track record of growing revenue by building and directing world-class sales and marketing teams. Mr. Meier was previously the head of business development and payor relations at Gravity Diagnostics. Prior to this, he served as vice president of sales and commercialization at Caldera Medical, where he was responsible for all sales and marketing functions, sales training and operations and developed and implemented strategies for new product launches. In additional to these roles, he held various leadership positions at fortune 500 companies including Hologic and Johnson and Johnson. Mr. Meier earned his B.A. in Marketing and Communications from the University of Kentucky and his M.B.A. from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
