Positive Opinion for CSD500
Futura Medical plc (AIM: FUM), the innovative healthcare company focused on advanced transdermal technology, is pleased to announce that its novel condom, CSD500, has received a positive opinion from the relevant Notified Body on all aspects of the CSD500 regulatory dossier submitted earlier in the year. It is expected that the CE mark certificate will be awarded later this month, authorising the product for marketing throughout Europe.
CSD500 is clinically proven to produce a firmer erection and increase penile size in healthy men whilst wearing a condom during sexual intercourse and to give women a longer lasting sexual experience.
The award of the CE mark is a key step towards the launch of CSD500 in Europe. As announced on 2 April 2013, the rights to manufacture, market and distribute CSD500 in North America and a number of key European territories have been licensed to Church & Dwight Co Inc, the major US consumer products group whose brands include Trojan® condoms.
James Barder, Futura's Chief Executive, commented: "We are delighted to confirm that we have received a positive opinion on all aspects of the regulatory dossier for the CE marking of our highly innovative condom, CSD500. We expect the CE mark certificate to be awarded to us later this month and are very excited to be moving close to the launch of the product in Europe."
