Prospective, multi-center, pilot study to evaluate the safety of the FemBloc™ Permanent
Contraceptive System for female sterilization in preventing pregnancy.

Prospective, multi-center, pilot study of subjects undergoing the FemBloc Permanent
Contraceptive System procedure to be conducted at up to 5 sites in the U.S. enrolling up to
50 subjects total. The objective of the trial is to evaluate the safety of the FemBloc

3-month confirmation test visit. Following the pilot safety endpoint analysis at 3-month
follow-up, Femasys intends to continue follow-up of pilot subjects for a total duration of
approximately 68 months after the FemBloc treatment procedure.
