Femasys announced that Health Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, has granted product approval of FemCerv, the first endocervical tissue sampler designed to collect and contain a comprehensive sample to maximize quality and quantity. FemCerv captures a tissue sample in a relatively pain-free manner and has the potential to be an improvement over the existing standard of care to diagnose the presence of cancerous cells in a woman’s cervix. "We are delighted to gain another product approval in Canada, with FemCerv now available to women throughout all of North America as a more advanced alternative for tissue sampling to detect cervical cancer," stated Kathy Lee-Sepsick, Femasys’ founder, president and, chief executive officer. "The current method for detection relies on antiquated tools that can be painful and result in an inadequate or contaminated sample, which may lead to missed diagnosis and unnecessary invasive procedures. Femasys continues to build out our commercial suite of products to bring much-needed technologies to women."
