Futura Medical plc (AIM: FUM), the innovative healthcare company focused on advanced transdermal technology, is pleased to announce that it has signed an exclusive licensing agreement with F Lima SA ("F Lima") for the marketing and distribution of CSD500, Futura's novel erectogenic condom, in Portugal.

We believe that we will be able to build a strong condom brand through CSD500 owing to the product's unique characteristics and its ability to meet customer needs."
