Contour Next blood glucose monitoring system

The Contour Next blood glucose monitoring system is a flagship medical device used by individuals with diabetes to manage their blood sugar levels. The brand has a rich history that traces back over 80 years, originally originating as part of the Ames division of Miles Laboratories, which was later acquired by the German pharmaceutical giant Bayer AG. For decades, it was known globally as Bayer Diabetes Care.

In 2016, a major shift occurred when Bayer AG sold its diabetes care business to Panasonic Healthcare Holdings (now known as PHC Holdings). This transaction led to the creation of Ascensia Diabetes Care as a standalone company. While the brand has Swiss and German roots, manufacturing of the meters and test strips occurs globally, with significant production facilities located in Indonesia and other international sites to serve more than 100 countries. Today, the brand remains a leader in accuracy and innovation under its parent company, PHC Holdings.
