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.
It is expected that F Lima, an established Portuguese business that distributes consumer brands into a broad range of retail outlets including supermarkets and pharmacies, will launch CSD500 under the Blue Diamond brand name as soon as practicable.
The agreement with F Lima marks Futura's eighth licensing agreement for CSD500, which continues to be licensed exclusively on a regional basis to create a global distribution network.

Rui Miguel Lima, F Lima's General Manager, said: "We are very excited by the opportunity that Futura's innovative condom gives us 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."
James Barder, Futura's Chief Executive, commented: "We are delighted to sign this agreement with F Lima for the marketing and distribution of CSD500 in Portugal. F Lima is a well-established company with a strong track record of building brands in consumer healthcare."
