Ascensia Contour Next blood glucose test strips

Contour Next test strips are a globally recognized medical product used for blood sugar monitoring, especially for diabetes management. Initially developed by the German pharmaceutical giant Bayer, the entire diabetes care division was acquired by Ascentia Diabetes Care.

Today, the brand is part of the Panasonic Holdings Corporation portfolio, specifically through their subsidiary PHC Holdings. Manufacturing occurs in multiple highly specialized industrial sites across Europe and Asia to ensure global medical standards are met. This transition marks the shift from a traditional European pharmaceutical brand to a specialized, global med-tech division headquartered in Japan.
