ATLANTA, Sept. 22, 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 today a partnership with Medical Electronic Systems LLC (MES) to provide advanced sperm analysis technology. The FemSperm Analysis Kit completes the FemSperm product family, joining the Setup Kit and Insemination Prep Kit. Together, they expand Femasys’ infertility portfolio and, for the first time, enables gynecologists to perform in-office sperm preparation and analysis for use with its first-step infertility treatment, FemaSeed Intratubal Insemination.
“The launch of the FemSperm Analysis Kit advances our mission to deliver innovative reproductive care that is more accessible and affordable for the millions of women facing infertility,” said Kathy Lee-Sepsick, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Femasys Inc. “By partnering with MES, a recognized leader in sperm analysis technology, and branding their advanced solution under our FemSperm product line, we have created a complete, turnkey offering that empowers gynecologists to provide FemaSeed in-office infertility treatment previously available only in fertility clinics.”
“Our industry-leading semen analysis technology powers the FemSperm Analysis Kit, delivering accurate, efficient, and standardized assessment of key sperm parameters,” said Eric Carver, President of Medical Electronic Systems LLC. “We are thrilled to partner with Femasys to bring our technology to gynecologists as part of a complete, integrated solution that expands access to high-quality infertility care.”
With the availability of the FemSperm product family, gynecologists can now perform sperm preparation and analysis, enabling them to offer FemaSeed Intratubal Insemination directly within their practices. FemaSeed is a next-generation artificial insemination solution that enhances natural fertilization by delivering sperm precisely to the fallopian tube, the site of conception. Positioned as a true first step in the fertility journey, FemaSeed offers a safe, accessible, and cost-effective alternative to intrauterine insemination (IUI). In its pivotal trial, FemaSeed achieved more than double the pregnancy rates of IUI in cases of low male sperm count.1 As an affordable, less invasive, lower-risk option before IVF, FemaSeed is authorized for use in the U.S., Europe, UK, Canada, Israel, Australia and New Zealand.
