Description

Contour Plus Test Strips

Contour Plus Test Strips are single-use blood glucose testing strips designed for use with compatible Contour Plus blood glucose meters. They allow users to obtain a capillary blood glucose reading quickly and accurately as part of daily monitoring.

The strips use an enzyme-based reaction and built-in technology within the meter to provide a numerical glucose value from a small blood sample.

Blood Glucose Testing

Blood glucose testing is an important part of managing glucose levels for individuals who use a blood glucose meter. Test strips contain a special enzyme that reacts with glucose in a drop of blood. When inserted into the meter, the strip helps the device analyse the sample and display a reading.

Each meter model uses a specific type of test strip, so it is important to ensure compatibility with your Contour Plus device.
