PLC
(“Sexual Health Group” or “the
Company”)
PLUS Symbol: SHGP
NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH
The Board of Sexual Health Group, a national
supplier of sexual health products to customers
including the NHS, has registered a new
Condomania medical device with the Medicines
and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency
(MHRA).
Condomania® Ultrasound Probe Covers
can be used in general medical procedures
where Ultrasound is in use. Ultrasound is
a technique used to create images of organs
and other internal body parts.
The new product can be used in association
with Sutherland Lubricating Jelly, which
can also be used in ultrasound procedures.
Orders for the Ultrasound Probe Covers
have already been received and supplied
to new customers outside the NHS market,
but the Company sees its main sales opportunity
for this product to be within the NHS and
marketing to that sector will be commencing
shortly.
Commenting on today’s news, Chairman,
John French, said:“This new
product launch strengthens and complements
the range already supplied by the Group
to our customers and should further increase
our presence in the NHS.”

The Directors of the Company accept responsibility
for this announcement.

Notes to Editors:
The Company's business was founded in 2000,
and is a national supplier of sexual health
products. The Company initially created
the Condomania brand as a supplier of condoms
to major professional customers such as
the NHS and is actively engaged in the production
of complementary products for the sexual
health market.
The Condomania brand has already achieved
a share of approximately 9% of the NHS Condom
market which equates to 2.25% of the total
UK market. Condomania has shown substantial
growth in sales and distribution. At 11
products, it has one of the widest ranges
of condoms available via the NHS in the
UK. The Company's strategy is to bring a
pipeline of new products in sexual health
to the UK market.
In March 2006, the Company acquired Sutherland
Group Holdings Ltd, which brought further
products into the Group. The key product
out of this range was Sutherland Lubricating
Jelly which is now on national contract
in NHS England.
The Company has been focusing on the development
of its relationship with the NHS, and has
developed its profile through this relationship.
This will remain as a major part of its
strategy for growth.
